 When `mkGadtDecl` is presented wih a `HsFunTy` it discards the SrcSpan,
 thus disconnecting any annotations on the `HsFunTy`.

 {{{#!hs
 mkGadtDecl names (L ls (HsForAllTy imp Nothing qvars cxt tau))
   = return $ mk_gadt_con names
   where
     (details, res_ty)           -- See Note [Sorting out the result type]
       = case tau of
           L _ (HsFunTy (L l (HsRecTy flds)) res_ty)
                                             -> (RecCon (L l flds), res_ty)
           _other                                    -> (PrefixCon [], tau)
 ...
 }}}

 This can be triggered by the following

 {{{#!hs
 {-# LANGUAGE GADTs #-}
 module GADTRecords2 (H1(..)) where

 -- | h1
 data H1 a b where
   C3 :: (Num a) => { field :: a -- ^ hello docs
                    } -> H1 Int Int
 }}}
