  * milestone:  => 6.10 branch

Comment:

 If we want an IDE to be able to do it then we probably want the
 functionality to be in the GHC API, at which point GHCi may as well do it.

 I don't think looking for the installed docs is a good idea; better would
 be to put the info in the `.hi` file (or another file installed alongside
 the `.o` and `.hi` files; perhaps it would even make sense to spit the
 parsed source out into a file, so that we can also do things like :list?).
