As part of a project I'm working on, I have a need to add some IPv6 support to the network library. I'd like to clean up the haddocks (or indeed write some in the first place) as I go.

But before I start, I notice that the source has some peculiarities, such as explicit line number pragmas that are all wrong, making the process of finding errors unnecessarily interesting. Is there any reason I shouldn't nuke them as I go?

Things like {-# LINE 141 "Text/Regex/PCRE/Wrap.hsc" #-} indicate that the .hs file you are reading was generated from a .hsc file which is the actual source you ought to edit...
