[Haskell-cafe] Access violation when stack haddock haskell-src-exts since LTS 12.0

[Carter Schonwald]

The next version of cabal will have some improvements that folks may
appreciate :

Namely haddock errors or failures are treated as warnings rather than fatal
errors when building packages.  This has been merged into master cabal

And I’ve been happily using an earlier version of the patch which I helped
prototype for at least half a year now.

Cheers
