If no one else is willing to do it, count me in. But before I agree to
this task, I have some further questions:

* How much time will it probably take? I know this depends on one's
Haskell proficiency, so what is your estimate for an advanced Haskell
programmer?

* My first guess is this will only (?) involve writing a function
similar to 'gen_latex_doc', is that correct?
