Cool!  Actually, Jared Updike is already working on doing that  
programmatically.  He made an Asymptote (http://asymptote.sourceforge.net/ 
) script that can also generate the different variants (lambda on top  
or not, etc.) which he hopes to turn into a Haskell-to-SVG+ASY program  
soon.

Stay tuned! :)
