Hello,
take the following module:
module InfiniteList where
import Prelude hiding (repeat)
data InfiniteList e = InfiniteList e (InfiniteList e)
{-|
Essentially the same as 'Prelude.repeat'.
-}
repeat :: e -> InfiniteList e
repeat e = l where l = InfiniteList e l
If I feed Haddock with this module, the resulting HTML page reads
Essentially the same as repeat.
at the end. But since repeat is also an identifier of the current module,
this is IMO misleading.
Maybe Haddock should produce the string
Essentially the same as Prelude.repeat.
instead of the aboveânot because the source code comment says "Prelude.repeat"
(Source code "spelling" depends on the exact form of import declarations(?)
and is therefore not always suited for Haddock output.) but just because it's
the Prelude version of repeat what's mentioned here.
What do others think about this issue?
Wolfgang
