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.
I confirmed your example, reading with lynx and w3m.
It seems the extra text
is the methods of the type classes (mentioned after "deriving")
and it gets shown on on mouse-over in a graphical browser.
(Re: "nobody writes code like this" - the compiler does?
Some methods here seem auto-generated.)
Looks like a bug in haddock, then? (Or in lynx' handling of CSS?)
The actual HTML source looks legit, at least partially
(see example below)
This seems related:
https://github.com/haskell/haddock/pull/1197I will open an issue on accessibility.
