Control.Monad exports lead to weird Haddocks

Control.Monad exports, and therefore documents, the Functor class (but only the fmap member) and the Monad class. It does not export, and therefore does not document, the Applicative class. This is all pretty weird. Since Functor is in the prelude (and probably most/all alternate preludes), is there actually a reason to export it from Control.Monad?
