In looking at this, I found that the new build system wasn't actually
haddocking anything; now fixed.
GHC.Base is deliberately not in the documentation: it has a
{-# OPTIONS_HADDOCK hide #-}
pragma. Instead, everything that it exports should be documented by a
module that re-exports it. In particular, lazy is here:

Isn't the better fix to just move lazy into GHC.Prim? It doesn't make
sense to me for it to be in GHC.Base while seq, for example, is in
GHC.Prim.
Thanks
