I'm not certain this /is/ easily in Emacs capabilities.  Emacs isn't
really set up to support more than one major mode at a time -- there
is, however, an extension that can do this.  The challenge is defining
the start and end of the areas of each 'mode' in the buffer; I've
never had very much success, but depending on the delimiters used in
the literal haskell syntax you're working with, you may be able to set
it up:
