New description:

 There are a variety of cases where 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
 }}}
