 I proposed this solution on the mailing list as a solution to allowing
 other tools to determine what the type of the non-haskell content in a
 literate haskell file is. For example, whether a document is markdown +
 literate haskell or reStructuredText + literate haskel.

 There were no real objections on the mailing list and this approach has
 been tested and works on Windows.
