#7546: Manual 6.2 doesn't match current output formatting

Section 6.2 of the manual, under “How do I find out a function's
strictness?”, talks about using GHC to show strictness in the interface
file.
It says to look for {{{__S <string>}}}. Should that be {{{Strictness:
<string>}}}. I don't see the former anywhere in the GHC's formatting of
the interface file, but I do see the latter. I looked through the history
of ghc/compiler/iface/IfaceSyn.lhs, and it appears to have been the latter
for at least several years.
