Whoa, just realized once again that email is tone-deaf. I meant that
'pseudonym' thing cheekily: just to help differentiate the proposal in
a silly way. In no way was it supposed to be insulting! Sorry for the
noise.

Tbh, first thing I missed when I saw your mail was not a tonal medium, but a Like button (says something about my cultural deformation, doesn't it ;)  I can't speak for others, but I think I read it in the tone you intended.)

Also, for the record, I would like for markdown to be an option —
regardless of other practical considerations at the moment.  It might
also be attractive to web people as they check out Haskell.

Well, I thought it would be reasonably obvious, but apparently, people like the current output enough to want to keep it. See attached screenshot; this drove me crazy, but that was just me.

Ph.
