Comment (by bgamari):

 >> but it is already hard to use haddock with GHC as not that many
 functions have haddock comments and you need to read the Notes in order to
 understand everything.

 maybe we could make haddock export Notes in the generated documentation.

 I agree that we should fix GHC's use of Haddock comments. We've been
 saying for a long time that all new exported functions should have Haddock
 comments. We are much better about this than we used to be but there is
 still a long ways to go

 Neat!
