 Replying to [comment:7 simonmar]:
 > Why does it use via-C, and not asm?

 No particular reason. It should probably use asm if that works. However,
 that will not speed it up enough, right? So we should ideally only
 compile/interpret the files that really need to be compiled/interpreted.
 Do you think GHC could provide an easy way to know this?

 Do you think that, in the meantime, it would be worth using the
 interpreted mode, letting Haddock fail on modules that need compilation?
