When you say "change is on the 7.10 branch", you mean a fix for
Haddock, or changes to Cabal?
There are also other issues with the --hoogle output, the newest
regression being that constructors are wrapped in square brackets, for
example:
[Nothing] :: Maybe a
Generally, the --hoogle output from Haddock keeps going downhill. When
I first implemented it, there was a test suite, but that seems to no
longer be catching issues.

I'm not really able to follow the details of this, but I wanted to raise to everyone's attention a serious bug with the current GHC 7.10 RC, Cabal 1.22, and/or Haddock. Currently, running `cabal haddock --hoogle` does not work. There seem to be two different issues open about it:
https://github.com/haskell/haddock/issues/361 https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/2297
I really don't understand the issues here, but I'd claim that the severity of this should probably be a blocker for a GHC 7.10 release.
I think only work needs to go into cabal now. GHCs point of concern here is that it ships with a patched cabal for this when the patch does get crafted rather than only dumped onto the master branch. It's already fixed on Haddock side and I believe the change is on 7.10 branch.
So I guess this is just a FYI that something is broken and we're awaiting cabal patch.
