Comment (by simonmar):

 I'm not sure about the "defined in module" bit.  Won't this give rise to
 things like "Int is defined in module GHC.Base", which could confuse the
 average user who doesn't have a clue what `GHC.Base` is, and finds that it
 isn't even documented?  We should say where the module is imported from,
 not defined.
