Adding documentation ficilities to ghci is nice, however my experience is that documentation is not complete everywhere. That's why I'm looking at source code directly (thus having doc strings if given else I can have look at source directly).

This reminds me of a very handy feature in ipython (a custom python repl) - you can type name? which prints the docstring associated with name (which can be a function, module, class etc.) - but if you type name?? you get the docstring _and_ the source code (colorized and all :). I use it a lot when I'm experimenting in a interactive session. I could see something similar for haskell being very useful, to me at least. Arnar
