The new Haddock is enormously better at this -- it does take #hide to imply that. If you can get the #hide attribute working in Graphics.UI.Gtk.Types, Haddock will redirect links to the lowest unhidden module that exports the name (whether imported by this one or not), which is exactly what you want. There's no need for qualified names or further declarations. _______________________________________________ Glasgow-haskell-users mailing list Glasgow-haskell-users@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-users
