Parse literate Haskell file

tldr: is it possible to parse a literate Haskell file with parseModuleEpAnnsWithCppInternal?

longer question: I’m trying to contribute to doctest-parallel so that it is able to handle literate Haskell files.

Currently I get to a point where parseModuleEpAnnsWithCppInternal is called and fails with the following error message

parse error on input `>'

indicating that it is not able to parse a literate Haskell file. Is there a way to parse a literate Haskell file this way? Maybe setting something in the CppOptions or in the DynFlags arguments?

Literate Haskell is handled by unlit before the parser. You can see how Scrod does it here: scrod/source/library/Scrod/Executable/Main.hs at main · tfausak/scrod · GitHub (line 64).
