Note that this can be added to the module itself:

{-# OPTIONS_HADDOCK prune #-}

>From the user guide[1]:

prune
        
        Omit definitions that have no documentation annotations from the
        generated documentation.

hide 
        
        Omit this module from the generated documentation, but
        nevertheless propagate definitions and documentation from within
        this module to modules that re-export those definitions.
