Description
Has there been any thought on adding support for module / declaration / parameter haddock comments? I'm trying to use this library to generate code that I would like to have nice haddock documentation on.
I tried my hand at implementing comments for modules at it seems as simple as filling out `hsmodHaddockModHeader` on `HsModule`, but as of 8.10 the `Outputable` [instance](https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/8.10.1/docs/html/libraries/ghc-8.10.1/GHC-Hs-Doc.html#t:HsDocString) on `HsDocString` wraps the output in double quotes which results in invalid Haskell.
