Sounds like a good idea to me.  I think `foo` works as we as @foo@ in 
Haddock comments, and is a whole lot less obtrusive when looking at the 
comments in their non-typeset form (which is all I ever do).

PS: I am leaving Microsoft at the end of November 2021, at which point 
simo...@microsoft.com will cease to work.  Use simon.peytonjo...@gmail.com 
instead.  (For now, it just forwards to simo...@microsoft.com.)

|  Subject: Cmm comments are not Haddock comments---should this change?
|  
|  The definitions of the Cmm data structures are richly commented in the
|  source code, but the comments are not Haddock comments, so the
|  information doesn't make it into the Haddock documentation.
|  
|  As I refresh my memory about Cmm, I'm thinking of converting the
|  existing comments to Haddock comments.  The only downside I can think
|  of is that the Haddock pages may appear more cluttered.
|  Is there any reason I should refrain?
