* Add framed view of the HTML documentation
After many years with many people telling us that frames are bad, you add
frame support to Haddock? Hmm.
You should discuss this with Simon Marlow, as it was his idea. Thomas
Schilling implemented it. Personally, I think the frames are quite
handy, although not that pretty in their current form. More
importantly, you don't need to use them if you don't want to. Haddock
still generates the normal index.html as well as frames.html.
It wasn't really my idea, it came from something Simon Michael did for
darcs, although it doesn't seem to be working now:

I mentioned it to Thomas, who implemented something similar for Haddock. I
think the conclusion we came to was that frames are probably not the right
way to go (surprise), but we'd still like a better layout for Haddock
pages. It's looking a bit dated now, and you have to scroll through pages
of useless synopsis to get to the real docs. Also the layout is internally
horrible, using lots of fixed-size table cells - I played around with lots
of different approaches to the layout at the time, but it had to work in
IE6 which meant that most things didn't work. I'd really love it if
someone could give Haddock a facelift.
Cheers,
Simon
