Top-level Haddock comments must follow the layout of declarations

[waern]

If layout is used, a Haddock comment must be at the same indentation level as the declaration it is commenting. As an example, the following causes a parse error:

  -- | doc comment for f
f :: Int
f = 1

This needs to be fixed in the GHC lexer, hence the 2.3.0 milestone.

This is by design and Haddock 0.9 works the same way. A closing bracket is inserted between the comment and the type signature declaration, because Haddock comments are handled as normal lexemes during layout processing.
