There would be a number of benefits if GHC's parser were extended to understand the Haddock documentation markup and then Haddock changed to use the GHC API:
- Haddock would get full supprot for GHC's various syntactic extensions.
- Haddock would understand
{#- LINE -#}pragmas which would allow it to generate links to the original source code. - Haddock would get much better error messages.
- Haddock could infer types for functions with no explicit type signature.
- GHCi and IDEs like hIDE and Visual Haskell would be able to display API documentation in more convenient ways like in this Haste screenshot:
It would be good to have a recursive flag that would operate on all the .hs and .lhs files under a single directory.
