Haddock type

[MathiasBartl]

I am using haddock with
cabal haddock

I uses types for readability and codequality like:
type Size = Int
size :: ConcurrentHashTable key val -> IO(Size)
but I want the haddock docuentation to read:
size :: ConcurrentHashTable key val -> IO(Int)

Here's an example of what it builds for me.

It looks like it is using the type synonym. As long as you use the synonym in the type sig you give I thought this was the default behavior? What version of haddock is giving you a different outcome?

Hm, at the moment Size is fixed as Int, and you can't have Hashtables with more that 2^31 slots.
(With the current Memory layout with lots of boxed stuff, that is actually a lot of memory.)
I am not so happy about this because I can totally see, that people would want 2^36 Entries or something, I mean why not. Now the thing is the Constructor with Hint and the clear with Hint is the only part where this is acutally exposed to the interface.
So yeah having 64bit adressing would be cool.
