   Thanks for the comment. Also I noticed that:

   data FutureSumType
     = {- | This is what the documentation for this type looks like.
       It is pretty awkward that the @--@s aren't aligned.
       -}
       SingleConstructor
       { someRecordField :: Bool,
         someOtherRecordField :: Int
       }
       | Foo

   Formats to expected:

   data FutureSumType
     = {- | This is what the documentation for this type looks like.
       It is pretty awkward that the @--@s aren't aligned.
       -}
       SingleConstructor
         { someRecordField :: Bool,
           someOtherRecordField :: Int
         }
     | Foo

   That is expected. And in this case diff is smaller in 0.8, so the same should be for 0.9 as well. Thanks for the report we will take a loot.

   @brandonchinn178 thanks for report. There is a fix in a linked branch. We will recheck that it does not lead to any problems and publish.

   Ok, without haddock I have:

   data FutureSumType
       = {- This is what the documentation for this type looks like.
         It is pretty awkward that the @--@s aren't aligned.
         -}
         SingleConstructor
         { someRecordField :: Bool
         , someOtherRecordField :: Int
         }
   

   data FutureSumType
     = {- This is what the documentation for this type looks like.
       It is pretty awkward that the @--@s aren't aligned.
       -}
     SingleConstructor
     { someRecordField :: Bool,
       someOtherRecordField :: Int
     }
   

   And with a constructor

   data FutureSumType
     = {- This is what the documentation for this type looks like.
       It is pretty awkward that the @--@s aren't aligned.
       -}
       SingleConstructor
         { someRecordField :: Bool,
           someOtherRecordField :: Int
         }
     | Foo
   

   And with line comments only:

   data FutureSumType
     = -- This is what the documentation for this type looks like.
     -- It is pretty awkward that the @--@s aren't aligned.
     SingleConstructor
     { someRecordField :: Bool,
       someOtherRecordField :: Int
     }
   

   And

   data FutureSumType
     = SingleConstructor
     { someRecordField :: Bool,
       someOtherRecordField :: Int
     }
   

   With all of that I think it worth restoring at least behaviour of the comments
