Comment(by isaacdupree):
That's because `__HADDOCK__` is only defined for Haddock 0.x, not for the
current GHC-API-based Haddock (deliberately, nothing special is defined
for the current Haddock). IMHO it's a Haddock bug to say "conv[a9D8] ::
something" and not give a proper name (any idea whether it's easy to fix,
vs. is a design problem?). The only(?) other reason I can see for that
ifdef is if you're trying to lie about the types in the haddocumentation
(I don't know Harpy's use of TH well enough to be sure myself).
