So then I would strongly recommend to *not* use it.

That's true.  Well, being able to mark up parts of Haskell code like 
identifiers or type declarations is not too important to me at the moment.  
But I definitely think that one should be able to say: "This is emphasized

typeset in italics." or: "This should be typeset in typewriter font on a 
separate paragraph with indentation."
