 There are a variety of cases
 I have found myself wanting to place haddock documentation on fields of
 non-record data types rather often in the past. The syntax for this might
 look like,
 {{{#!hs
 data Foo = Foo      -- ^ A foo
              Int    -- ^ how big is the foo?
              String -- ^ the name of the foo
 }}}
