Haddock doesn't generate proper links to sections

The reported issues are still valid. I am testing with GHC 6.8.2, Haddock 2.4.0 (according to --version).

An example: going to XMonad.Layout.Combo, and clicking on a link to "XMonad.Doc.Extending#Editing_the_layout_hook" sends me to:

file:///home/gwern/bin/XMonadContrib/dist/doc/html/xmonad-contrib/XMonad-Doc-Extending#Editing_the_layout_hook.html

The '.html' is in the wrong place. This suggests to me that somewhere a 'section' variable is being appended to an URL and then the .html suffix is appended later, when the sequence should be the reverse.

Referring to a specific section within a module in a module link is simply not supported. You can open an enhancement ticket if you really want this feature.

Since a valid module name cannot contain hashes anyway, I don't see why we should not have this feature. I've submitted a patch without opening another ticket.
