Oh, Bulat's right. Also:

     GHC User's guide -- type system extensions
     * http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/users_guide/type-extensions.html

     GHC User's guide -- syntax extensions
     * http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/users_guide/syntax-extns.html

Specific extensions:

    GADTs
    * http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/users_guide/gadt.html 

    Bang patterns
    * http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/users_guide/sec-bang-patterns.html

    Special primops
    * http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/users_guide/special-ids.html

    Parallel Haskell
    * http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/users_guide/lang-parallel.html

    FFI
    * http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/users_guide/ffi.html

Its all there somewhere.
