structured-haskell-mode aims to provide node-based editing support for
Haskell code (ala paredit for Lisps); ebal is another mode that helps
running cabal-install or stack.

Most of the rest of my customisations is more about keybindings (and
various failed experiments like code folding that I tried but no
longer use); haskell-mode is fairly usable out-of-the-box.
