cabal-docspec and hlint

Have you checked to see if the suggestions that hlint provides here are reasonable? I'm not necessarily opposed to ignoring certain hlint warnings, but if the warnings are reasonable, I'd prefer just applying the suggestions.

[phadej]

Fair. I cleaned up the other warnings but left LANGUAGE one. It has false positives (DeriveTraversable not always implies DeriveFunctor, e.g.) so I just left it.

The build is green except notification sending failed

< :beckett.freenode.net 433 * github-actions :Nickname is already in use.

Urk, it looks like this conflicted with another concurrent use of the nick github-actions. I wonder if this limitation is inherent in the way these sorts of IRC notification bots work, or if it would be worth investigating another IRC action (e.g., notify-irc).

In any case, thanks. Let's land this.

I think notify-irc has the same problem, i.e. everything which connects on run is not gonna work.

I'm half-seriously thinking of making an IRC bot just for these, which would keep persistent connection.

That's certainly one way to solve the problem. As an alternative, we could generate unique nicks for each notification, but perhaps that's overkill.
