Comment (by Fuuzetsu):

Sorry I fell behind a bit on reading GHC tickets.

Yes adinapoli, those should also be removed, we do not use --# for anything and it served the same purpose as {-# as far as I know.

Also the data type used to store that type of comment should be removed:

https://github.com/ghc/ghc/blob/master/compiler/parser/Lexer.x#L625

FTR the Haddock ticket is now tracked at https://github.com/haskell/haddock/issues/171

Thanks for looking into this, feel free to poke me on IRC/e-mail if you need more immediate review.
