Comment (by lerkok):

 Some further bad news; this impacts `haddock` as well:

 {{{
 $ haddock --optghc="-package ghc" Test.hs
 Haddock coverage:
 Warning: Package name is not available.
    0% (  0 /  2) in 'TestPlugin'
   Missing documentation for:
     Module header
     plugin (./TestPlugin.hs:5)
 haddock: ^^ Could not load '_TestPlugin_plugin_closure', dependency
 unresolved. See top entry above.
 }}}

 There's a related cabal issue:
 https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/888, which suggests adding `{-#
 LANGUAGE TemplateHaskell #-}` to the `Test.hs` program though it should
 not be necessary. But doing so doesn't help either. With this `Test.hs`
 file:

 {{{#!hs
 {-# OPTIONS_GHC -fplugin TestPlugin #-}

 {-# LANGUAGE TemplateHaskell #-}  -- shouldn't be needed, but let's try

 main :: IO ()
 main = return ()
 }}}

 `cabal` now says:

 {{{
 [istanbul]~/qq>haddock --optghc="-package ghc" Test.hs
 Haddock coverage:

    0% (  0 /  2) in 'TestPlugin'

 }}}

 So, we're back to square one here. Unfortunately, the workaround of "first
 create a .o" file doesn't really work in this context as I don't think
 that's something I can instruct `haddock` to do; much less if it's coming
 from `cabal haddock`.

 Really stumped on how to proceed here.
