That would be fabulous.

| Hi,
|
| I'm going to add Type Families support to the Haddock HTML backend.
| What would be the best way to do it? I'm thinking it could work
| similar to how classes and instances are currently rendered, so that
| type/data/newtype instances are collected and attached to type family
| declarations. Is this too simplistic? Should we render
| type/data/newtype instances as separate entities in the module
| documentation instead (and perhaps do the same thing with class
| instances)?
|
| Currently, when packages export instances that belong to classes from
| other packages, those instances are not documented anywhere. An
| advantage of having instances as separate entities in the exporting
| module documentation is that no instances are "lost".
