As Michael already already answered, you could use Unsafe.isVar
for that purpose.

MCC's Unsafe module currently lacks showAnyQTerm and friends, but
you can define showAnyQTerm yourself as follows:

   showAnyQTerm:: a -> String
   showAnyQTerm x = (dvals $!! x) ""
     where foreign import primitive dvals :: a -> ShowS

This definition makes use of one of MCC's internal primitives. Don't
worry that this primitive is undocumented. It is used by MCC's
declarative
debugger and therefore supposed to stay.

Regards
Wolfgang
