Thanks for the responses and pointers to the other projects.  I'll
investigate those after the day-job (the one that pays the bills).

As for using the lexer vs the parser, I was hoping to do things such
as folding and/or nifty mouse-overs of logical blocks of code, which
is why I was interested in the parser.  I'm not sure if I could do the
same with only a lexer.

I'm basically just looking for something concrete to tinker with as I
learn Haskell and it seems that Haskell is missing a snazzy pastebin.

Thanks,
Pete
