I'm all for this. Over the years, many markup languages have come up,
and juggling between Mediawiki, Haddoc, HTML, Latex and what not is
really unnecessary. Markdown has reached a certain de-facto standard for
beefed up text files. In the context of Haskell, it's easy to type (bird
tacks are pretty awful to write multiple lines fluently with if you ask
me), and it doesn't look as awkward than literate Tex Haskell, being
readable in text and rendered formats.
