How do I get online documentation in Haskell?
Are there anything as elegant/handy as what Python does below?
>>> help([].count)
Help on built-in function count:
count(...)
L.count(value) -> integer -- return number of occurrences of value

Currently, there is no way to view the Haddock documentation within ghci, but there is a ticket for it.
You can however get a small bit of info using the
:infocommand, e.g.so that you at least know where to look for the documentation for a particular function.
