This came up in comp.lang.haskell recently:
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.haskell/msg/ae69f720377e7a3f
I like the idea.
Immediate thoughts:
* if ghci reads the source file, it can read haddock annotations
* if ghci reads the interface file only (for library modules),
it needs to find the installed documentation
On the other hand the requested feature is a typical IDE functionality
(cf. Eclipse/show source/show javadoc) and it's perhaps a bit much
to require that from ghci.
