Comment (by simonpj):
I didn't know this, but indeed `--show-iface` doesn't seem to show
qualified names, which is confusing in unfoldings. (It might be
reasonable not to quality names from the current module.)
This is controlled by the pretty-printing style. I'm not sure how
`--show-iface` invokes the pretty-printer, but it looks as though
`defaultUserStyle` omits the module qualifier on everything, which isn't
what we want here
{{{
defaultUserStyle :: DynFlags -> PprStyle
defaultUserStyle dflags = mkUserStyle dflags neverQualify AllTheWay
}}}
Note that `neverQualify`.
So I think you could fix it for all of `--show-iface` not just for
docstring.
