Ive been having a great deal of confusion/trouble with emacs haskell-mode
of late.
No this is not a gripe about haskell-mode
Just that I find myself confused over

   1. The old comint interface and new λ one -- when does which kick in
   2. Basic setups -- is it called haskell-mode/haskell-emacs or what?
   3. I dont quite know when things stopped working/being
   comfortable/familiar but I remember it as having nothing to do with haskell
   -- updating org mode or some such

Just that I am supposed to be (at least out here!!) an emacs and haskell
expert and while showing others how to get started I am often finding my
own setups embarrassingly broken
Any tips for an old emacs-geezer?
