Comment (by simonmar):

 The documentation is stored in the Haddock interface file now, and Haddock
 has a library that provides access to the .haddock files.  So it seems to
 me the right way to go is for GHCi to invoke the Haddock library to get
 the docs.  Unfortunately this needs some restructuring: the Haddock
 library would become a boot package.
