 ## Inspecting the generated code
 
-The library section in `unordered-containers.cabal` contains a commented-out set of `ghc-options` for

+The file `cabal.project.local.dump-code` contains `ghc-options` for dumping Core and

+Because the files with the generated code are so large, it can be helpful to
+temporarily add a small "playground module" to the library:
+
+In `unordered-containers`:
+
+```diff
+library:
+  exposed-modules:
+     ...
+     Data.HashSet
+     Data.HashSet.Internal
++    Playground
 ```
 
-To visually compare the generated code from two different states of the source tree, you can copy
-the `dist-newstyle/build/**/unordered-containers-*/build/` directory from each state to two
-directories `a` and `b` and then use a diff tool like [Meld](https://meldmerge.org/) to compare
-them:
+`Playground.hs`:
 
 ```
-meld a/ b/

+module Playground where

+import qualified Data.HashMap.Internal as HMI
+import qualified Data.HashMap.Strict as HS
+
+f = HS.union @String
