How about resolving http://cvs.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/690 ?

I would like to simple add a flag to ghc. How about adding an addional
phase (and extension) to ghc before preprocessing?

Your solution does not support good readability. Is there a ready tool
that converts my source files as you suggested automatically? How does
haddock handle characters in comments?

I'm sort of stuck currently testing ghc-6.6 RC
