Please forgive me for taking this as an opportunity to rant about the 
single misfeature of Haskell's layout syntax, which is how if/then/else 
must be layed out. The problem is that the 'else' must be indented 
further than the 'if', so that this:

  if cond then
    on_true
  else
    on_false

usually gives me a syntax error.

Other than this, I like layout so much that I have never actually used 
the explicit {;}-notation.
