Yes, that would be most helpful.

It's still not quite perfect because there is a typesetting step between
what the programmer is writing in the .hs file and the way the generated
interface looks -- people have to actually go to the trouble of running
Haddock and double-checking that their interfaces look the way they intend.
But I expect that this would become habitual pretty quickly, for those that
care about this kind of interface documentation.
