(steps towards an) Eval plugin

[googleson78]

I would love to be able to highlight some text and say "evaluate this please". I imagine this to be a "plugin".

My hopes are that since (it seems to me that) ghci is used, this shouldn't be impossible.

Is this currently feasible, and if yes, where should I look for pointers/documentation on how I would go about trying to implement it?

@googleson78 we are not using ghci in hls, only the GHC API.

Having evaluation available is definitely something we want, but is not likely to be available soon.
