Haddock already tries to filter out declarations that it can't (or
shouldn't) handle. I think that works well, although it's possible it
can be improved. If we find a case where more filtering is needed,
it's an easy fix to make.

In this case, we can't filter out the TH declarations (since the code
might then not compile),  but we can perhaps fix the root-cause in the
short-term (I'm not sure about that, but I hope so).

So let's wait with the flag until we find something that can't be
filtered out and for which we don't have a short-term fix?
