Comment:

 hvr says he knows of no standard. He'll add some docs for the user guide,
 and is also working on an implementation of the emacs side.

 hvr: I wonder if it would be better to use your own String-showing
 function rather than using Show, so as to make it possible to correctly
 use simpler parsing on the emacs side.
