You're correct that there's no such feature at the moment. If you want something, please open an issue on [1]. Note that I have never used JHC or looked into how it works so I will need very careful description of what I need to do to replicate it all, including small test case, any flags that need to be passed in for Haddock to work with JHC, expected behaviour, a small case where there are no recursive modules so I can confirm it works in simple case &c. If it turns out to not be too complicated then you could have it in the next non-minor release (2.15.x).
What would be easiest is to just bypass much of Haddocks middle end, as in, I don't want it to attempt to follow dependencies or figure out types or call ghc by itself at all. rather I want to give it a pre-digested pap of resolved names and types (and whatever else it needs) but let haddock still parse the file and generate the documention with its back end. This would be more generally useful as a haddock feature than trying to have it emulate other compilers as any compiler or tool can output this general metainfo format.
