    Serialize docstrings to ifaces, display them with new GHCi :doc command · 85309a3c
    Simon Jakobi authored and Ben Gamari's avatar Ben Gamari committed
    If `-haddock` is set, we now extract docstrings from the renamed ast
    and serialize them in the .hi-files.
    
    This includes some of the changes from D4749 with the notable
    exceptions of the docstring lexing and renaming.
    
    A currently limited and experimental GHCi :doc command can be used
    to display docstrings for declarations.
    
    The formatting of pretty-printed docstrings is changed slightly,
    causing some changes in testsuite/tests/haddock.
    
    Test Plan: ./validate
