Comment (by carter):

 to further clarify, based upon further discussion on IRC,

 {{{
 [23:39:41] <Fuuzetsu>    Yep, all I want is Language -> String out of
 only having DynFlags which provides Maybe Language.
 }}}

 Its worth noting that this probably shouldn't be a show instance, because
 Language Standards need not have only the form
 (capital letter)(aphanumeric*).

 The key  point is a  function to pretty print the name of the Language
 should be exposed. And probably more future proof to funny names if its
 not done via Show specifically.

 ie

 {{{
 renderLanguageName :: Language -> String
 }}}

 or the like
