+Note [Invariant: Never expand type synonyms]
+
+In haddock, we never want to expand a type synonym that may be presented to the
+user, as we want to keep the link to the abstraction captured in the synonym.
+
+All code in Haddock.Convert must make sure that this invariant holds.
+
+See https://github.com/haskell/haddock/issues/879 for a bug where this
+invariant didn't hold.
