[Haskell-cafe] Re: Haddock: Documentation of instances with un-documentable type arguments

...

Perhaps Haddock could exclude class instance reporting when it cannot find a documentable link to a parameter?

The "cannot find documentable link" problem also comes up in situations like this (that don't involve type classes): module Ex ( foo ) where data Secret = Secret foo = Secret Should haddock generate documentation for foo (since it is exported) or not (since its result type is not exported)? Now imagine something like "instance Show Secret" (inside the Ex module). The user of the module then can write "show foo", and so it should be documented? J.W.
