AFAIU the problem, ..

data StupidTypeNameIntendedToBeLong =
    Foo

functionWithLoooongName :: Foo
                        -> Bar
functionWithLoooongName = undefined

.. you don't like the way haskell-mode indents the `-> Bar' line.

If this is the case, you could `newline-and-indent' (`C-j') right
after `::'.

anotherFunctionWithLongName ::
    Foo -> Bar
anotherFunctionWithLongName = undefined

And what's this "haskell-fold-source function" you were talking about?
