In my opinion, it is perfectly valid to have intentional preprocessor directives inside Haskell comments.
Could you give an example where this is useful? ... macro expansions inside the comments are rather exotic.
{- | Some module documentation. #define WEBSITE http://some.really.rather.long/and/tedious/URL/that_I_dont_want_to_type_too_... You can find more information about Foo at WEBSITE/Foo and Bar at WEBSITE/Bar -} As you say, the #define could equally live outside the comment, but I don't see why we should have an arbitrary restriction that it _must_ live outside the comment. As you also say, "the liberty to write whatever one wants inside a comment feels important", and if that includes the intentional use of CPP, why not? Regards, Malcolm
