Hello,

I am an experienced programmer, currently learning Haskell. Currently I write many things in python. I use both the "doctest" and "unittest" modules extensively. As I write code, I simultaneously write doctest code in the doc strings to explain/set out the "typical narrative" of how the code is used. Then finishing off a module I write unittests for boundary conditions, more complex test cases, and generally code that would be annoying to write & read in doctests.

I note that there is a unit testing framework for Haskell, but I don't see any doctest module. Might this be a good project?

If so, suggestions as to resources would be greatly appreciated. I believe I can't just "introspect" Haskell modules to get at documentation/comments, like I can in python? (Why not? :)) I notice that there are a few "documentation generators". Should I try to write an extension of one of these? Haddock, for instance? Are there any Haddock developers hanging out on this list, to encourage or dissuade me? :) (And where is the Haddock doc for Haddock?)

In any case, thanks in advance for any comments & advice.
