The problem is that Haddock doesn't store all the documentation in the .haddock
file for a package, so it can't propagate documentation for re-exported
identifiers across package boundaries. Including all the documentation in the
.haddock file would bloat the file quite a bit, I think.
However, maybe we could export the documentation on a module-by-module basis,
selected by an option in the module source. We should at least improve the
presentation for identifiers that don't have documentation becuase they are
re-exported from another package.
Cheers,
Simon
