 Replying to [comment:3 igloo]:

 It would be possible to compile and export tcRnGetInfo (and some other
 functions used by it) unconditionally. In addition, tcRnLookupName would
 have to be exported unconditionally, and the definition of
 InteractiveEval.lookupName would have to be copied to haddock.

 I could make a patch, but imho this would be a very ugly workaround.
