Description

http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/users_guide/options-sanity.html

"Consequently, this option does will complain about cyclic recursive definitions."

"does will" isn't quite right - I think it should just be "will"

Actually, could we just delete this paragraph:

"Consequently, this option does will complain about cyclic recursive definitions."

It is awkward ("cyclic recursive") and it's only true for "cyclic recursive definitions" that shadow other names, which was just explained.

IMHO, the paragraph before this one would be clearer without this "explanatory" remark. I make this suggestion because whenever I read this, I have to do a double-take to figure out what is really meant.

I deleted this while reading through the user guide as it didn't make sense to me either.
