[GHC] #8416: GHC.Generics needs more documentation

#8416: GHC.Generics needs more documentation -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: tibbe | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: libraries (other) | Version: 7.6.3 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Type of failure: None/Unknown Difficulty: Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Recently I tried to used `GHC.Generics` "in anger" for the first time, to fix some code in hashable that wasn't originally written by me. After a while I just gave up (and the generics support in hashable is now somewhat broken). The documentation for `GHC.Generics` is too incomprehensible for mere mortals. In particular, I find the documentation for `M1` and `K1` not very helpful. The documentation needs examples, more in-depth explanations of what each of the data types/constructors is used for, and finally an explanation of the up to 4 type parameters! -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8416> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

I've tried adding them to GHC/Generics.hs and base compiles without problems. Could this addition be considered?
