+ <para>If the input modules use Template Haskell, Haddock has to
+ perform compilation (using GHC). This results in .o, .hi, and stub files that
+ are written to a temporary directory by default. When this flag is specified,
+ however, the files are written to the present directory (or another path if you
+ tell GHC, for example like this: <literal>--optghc=-odir --optghc=path</literal>).
+ Note that not only will files be written to this directory, GHC will also look for
+ already existing files there, and use them in order to skip compilation.
