[Haskell-cafe] Possible issue with Hoogle and Haddock?

Hi,
I was noticing recently that there seems to be a problem with Hoogle
and Haddock. In particular, I just hoogled "bracket" and got the
following result:
bracket :: IO a -> a -> IO b -> a -> IO c -> IO c
Clearly this is the wrong type, as it should be
bracket :: IO a -> (a -> IO b) -> (a -> IO c) -> IO c
The Haddock-generated documentation at least has newlines to group the
terms, but this is still far from correct. I noticed the same thing a
while back in Parsec's documentation for token,
token :: Stream s Identity t => t -> String -> t -> SourcePos -> t ->
Maybe a -> Parsec s u a
which again should have parens.
Is this a bug? Is is something that's well-known?
Cheers,
steve
