Comment (by tellah):
Newcomer here who has been poking around this a bit. From my initial
impressions of the `:info` code, it would appear that the only place such
an info string could be stored is in the TyThing. This is because the
input string is converted String -> Name -> TyThing, and then the TyThing
is converted to an IfaceDecl for printing.
So then the question is: where does the suggested info string come from? I
have some basic code that can store arbitrary text for `:info` but I am
not sure what the front end for this should look like.
