[Haskell-cafe] multiline strings editor for emacs

[Evan Laforge]

I've long used a program to toggle between raw text and haskell string
syntax (either wrapped words, unwrapped \-continued, or ["x", "y"]
"unlines" style).  I use it with vim but it's a plain text filter:

It's not very smart but has worked well enough that I haven't bothered
to fix the rough bits.

I.e something that would pop-out a new buffer to edit the string, and that would be inserted and slash-aligned back into the original file once done? This would be simple enough to implement, perhaps someone has already done it?
