To be clear, I'm not asking for an explanation for me -- I think I know what's going on here.
Sorry if you got that impression; I have no doubt that you understand the feature (possibly better than me!)
I just think that this behavior requires a small section in the user manual, because it's a user-visible change to the language that GHC compiles. I would say the haddock docs could point to the user manual, to avoid the duplication (which I similarly dislike, for sure!)
Well, the question of which location points to which one is close to bikeshedding, so I’ll just pull the “I did it” card here (until shouted down by a larger crowd). But a mention in the user manual will not hurt: Can you suggest a section? Then I’ll put in a small paragraph with an reference to the haddocks.
