[Haskell-cafe] OK, so this VIM thing -- how do I make it actually work?

[Rodrigo Queiro]

To back him up, it seems that the lhaskell.vim syntax highlighter is broken
with Vim 7.1. Here, it is definitely using lhaskell.vim, but doesn't seem to
be parsing the code in between \begin{code} and \end{code} as Haskell.

I can't work out why though, it seems that the addition of \@= to the end
pattern of the code region is causing it to not be recognised, but removing
it causes other problems.

Adding the keepend option makes it work nicely for the first block, but fail
to highlight later blocks.
