Comment (by claus):

 Here is an example application (generating text index of haddock docs,
 from .haddock files and ghc-pkg database, for use in Haskell IDEs; the
 format is close to what haskellmode for Vim uses). The code is somewhat
 frankensteinish at the moment, with pieces copies together from non-
 exposed haddock functionality.

 Btw, I'm pretty sure that haddock's --hoogle could be made to work from
 .haddock and .hi files (currently, it seems to want input source?), so
 that hoogle's .txt files could be reconstructed without sources (module
 comments seem to be missing, and patching in types from .hi files might be
 some work).
