:doc shouldn't report <has no documentation> for a data constructor when it can show docs for the type constructor of the same name and type

λ import Data.Monoid
λ :doc Sum
<has no documentation>

 Monoid under addition.

 >>> getSum (Sum 1 <> Sum 2 <> mempty)
 3

I think it would be nicer if we could elide the <has no documentation> message for the Sum data constructor here.
