It requires the sexp-show package (which hasn't been updated since 2012 and was abandoned in 2014) to be installed from Hackage to work. However, even if it's customization option is enabled it doesn't actually seem to be used/called anywhere, making it less than useful. Closes haskell#615

It turns out this file wasn't in the build system and was causing a lot of warnings upon compilation. Further digging into what is that it does revealed it is a code for handling `sexp-show` from Hackage to do some Show-related edits in the buffer. However, it ain't clear how it's supposed to work (sexp-show just hangs when invoked with --help) and if it's even useful for PureScript (the file was part of the haskell-mode codebase when the project was forked). Original haskell-mode removed this code in 2015 here haskell/haskell-mode#616 with commentary: > It requires the sexp-show package (which hasn't been updated since 2012 > and was abandoned in 2014) to be installed from Hackage to work. > However, even if it's customization option is enabled it doesn't > actually seem to be used/called anywhere, making it less than useful. > > Closes #615 Let's follow the trend.
