Wow! A big patch indeed.

Perhaps you can tell us more about it. I'm full of questions!

So does this mean that ghc can now parse haddock comments? Does it do it
by default or with a flag? What about haddock comment parse errors, is
that just a warning or does that prevent compilation? Does it store the
comments in the .hi files? Can we get at the comments via the GHC api?

intrigued,
