Make language extensions their own category in the documentationwip/D4112
I.e. instead of .. ghc-flag:: -XUnboxedTuples :shortdesc: Enable the use of unboxed tuple syntax. :type: dynamic :reverse: -XNoUnboxedTuples :category: one simply writes .. extension:: UnboxedTuples :shortdesc: Enable the use of unboxed tuple syntax. This allows language extensions to be referenced as If :extension:`UnboxedTuples` is enabled, then... This directive still creates the entries for the `-XUnboxedTuples` flag, so in particular, Set :ghc-flag:`-XUnboxedTuples` if you have to. still works, and lists of flags in general (e.g. for the manpage) include these. I also removed lots of links from the shortdesc of the extensions, when this link simply points to the section where the extension is defined. I removed the list of `-X` flags from the flag reference table, but added a table of extension under “10.1. Language options” Lots of text in the manual now refers to “extension `Foo`” rather than “flag `-XFoo`”. I consider `-XFoo` a historic artifact that stems from when language extensions were really just flags. These days, the use of `-XFoo` is (IMHO) deprecated: You should be using `LANGUAGE Foo`, or maybe the appropriate field in a `.cabal` file. See 9278994 which did this change to error messages already.
