`ghc-pkg` builds a package database that helps GHC find all installed
 packages.  But it'd be a great improment if the same step also helped the
 '''user''' find the Haddock documentation for all installed packages.

 Corresponding to GHC's package database would be an HTML page that is a
 single point of entry for the user to find documentation about installed
 packages. Preferably together with a consolidated index.  (And maybe `ghc
 --help` should give the local URL of this documentation root.)
