great! I was considering asking for backwards compatibility, but then
tought it might be a bit too much.

For now I’ll hardcode the information that haddock support interface
version 21 in our package metadata, but this is error prone. Would you
mind adding an option akin to
$ haddock --interface-version
that would print all versions (e.g. space separated)?

$ haddock --compatible-interface-versions
21 22

Thanks,
Joachim
