Hi.
I have been using Lynx to read stuff on hacakge for a long time.
I recently noticed that it is no longer possible to read the source of a module, because extra type information (which is likely hidden in a modern browser) is inline with the actual sources. This makes the go to source feature effectively useless. An example (from the ISBN package):
deriving (Int -> ISBN -> ShowS [ISBN] -> ShowS ISBN -> String (Int -> ISBN -> ShowS) -> (ISBN -> String) -> ([ISBN] -> ShowS) -> Show ISBN forall a. (Int -> a -> ShowS) -> (a -> String) -> ([a] -> ShowS) -> Show a showList :: [ISBN] -> ShowS $cshowList :: [ISBN] -> ShowS show :: ISBN -> String $cshow :: ISBN -> String showsPrec :: Int -> ISBN -> ShowS $cshowsPrec :: Int -> ISBN -> ShowS Show, ISBN -> ISBN -> Bool (ISBN -> ISBN -> Bool) -> (ISBN -> ISBN -> Bool) -> Eq ISBN forall a. (a -> a -> Bool) -> (a -> a -> Bool) -> Eq a /= :: ISBN -> ISBN -> Bool $c/= :: ISBN -> ISBN -> Bool == :: ISBN -> ISBN -> Bool $c== :: ISBN -> ISBN -> Bool Eq)
I know Haskell has a ton of extensions, but I am pretty sure nobody writes code like this :-)
This is, frankly, pretty horrible. Can something be done to fix this?
(I am aware that certain modernisations are unstoppable. However, this one looks like a bug.)
