Well, I wanted something simple and it doesn't get any simpler than 
this! Thanks a lot, Andrew!

I don't know what percentage of Haskell people have an interest in LaTeX 
(or literate programming, for that matter), but it seems to me the 
solution you're offering should be put somewhere in the doc - or Wiki 
perhaps. It's a fundamental complement to the .lhs format.

Many thanks again,
