Personally, yes, I think its a great idea.

Perhaps additionally a few QuickCheck style properties where that helps.

I think what is really needed is for Haddock to have some kind of
"show source" link that shows the source for a function inline in the
documentation without opening a new page. Often the best documentation
for a function is its definition.
