I was thinking it would be useful if parts of haddock could be made into a library. mainly the parsing bits of it. There are a lot of useful little documentation aware utilities that can be written, and the haddock command itself can be simplified.
By all means... a good first step would be to separate out the front end parts of Haddock into a Cabal package. The parser is derived from the Haskell 98 parser in Language.Haskell.Parser - it would be nice to replace this with a (parameterised) version of the Haddock parser to reduce duplication, but that's a fair bit of work. I'd put the Haddock front end in Language.Haskell.Haddock, perhaps. Cheers, Simon
