The $out you refer to is the individual packages output directory? If
so then to locate the documentation for a packaged a user would have
to query nix-env ( or a wrapper ) to determine the documentation path.
Then open the doc path in a web browser. Perhaps a deriviation is
needed that adds a symlink to each haskell package's documentation to
a single directory. Then the user would only have to locate this
directory-of-symlinks and open that in a web browser to have easy
access to all documentation. That would be useful. Or does that
already exist?
