Function names and type signatures are a lot better than nothing ;-)

But seriously, the "non-standard" libraries are, at the moment, far =
better documented than the standard ones (where "standard" means
those libraries defined by the Haskell 98 report and their hierarchical =
equivalents).  The example you gave, Data.List.nub, is a
function from the standard Haskell 98 List library.

Contributions of documentation for any libraries are always welcome, of =
course!
