One of the really nice ideas in the R statistics system is that
documentation pages can contain executable examples, and when you
wrap up a package for distribution, the system checks that the
examples run as advertised.
The next version of Haddock will support something like this,
implemented by SImon Hengel.
Here's an example of how to use the new markup:

Awesome. This is similar to Python's thing.
Haskell has a *perfect* fit for this idea in QuickCheck.
We currently only support concrete examples (i.e. unit tests), but the
plan is to add support for QuickCheck properties.
Also support SmallCheck/LazySmallCheck, pretty please? :)
