I think the conclusion we can reach from this thread is that there
are many different use cases and many different coding styles.

I like bird tracks in certain situations (admittedly not too many),
I like the \begin{code} syntax in other situations,
and in yet other situations (most actually) I like comment
symbols. (Yes, I do use a good syntax-coloring editor.)

Sometimes I would prefer standard Haskell multi-line strings,
and other times I would prefer Audrey's quasiquoter.

If you have a different quasiquoter that you think others might
like, please do upload it to Hackage.

GHC's new lightweight quasiquoters provide a nice mechanism
for easily inventing whatever style you like best. It's also good
to know that there are built-in standards, for maximum
universal readability.
