    Implementation of StrictData language extension · f842ad6c
    adam authored and Ben Gamari's avatar Ben Gamari committed
    This implements the `StrictData` language extension, which lets the
    programmer default to strict data fields in datatype declarations on a
    per-module basis.
    
    Specification and motivation can be found at
    https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/StrictPragma
    
    This includes a tricky parser change due to conflicts regarding `~` in
    the type level syntax: all ~'s are parsed as strictness annotations (see
    `strict_mark` in Parser.y) and then turned into equality constraints at
    the appropriate places using `RdrHsSyn.splitTilde`.
    
    Updates haddock submodule.
    
    Test Plan: Validate through Harbormaster.
