Under the hood, uses:
- hint for type inference;
- hoogle to get a list of candidate functions;
- hint for testing.
Hoogle calling facility has been copy-pasted (and later modified) from the Yi project.
- catch stack overflows (is that possible?)
- catch other errors (should do but doesn't for some reason)
