[Haskell-cafe] Sparse documentation

It's probably because it was felt that the paper itself is better
documentation than anything that could be written in the comments.  Of
course, this may or may not be actually true.  It just seems to be a
particular quirk of the way the Haskell community generates, disseminates,
and consumes information.

Is there a particular module you're having trouble with?  Or just griping in
general? =)
