Comment (by simonmar):
The documentation is stored in the Haddock interface file now, and Haddock
has a library that provides access to the .haddock files. So it seems to
me the right way to go is for GHCi to invoke the Haddock library to get
the docs. Unfortunately this needs some restructuring: the Haddock
library would become a boot package.
