I'm looking for an replacement for pandoc to unlit Haskell code from
README.markdow files (so that I can make sure that code examples from
the README actually work).  The pain with pandoc is, that it takes quite
some time to build.  This is especially an issue if you use travis-ci,
as it delays failure reports about 5 minutes.

In terms of build times, this package is already an improvement, but
still not ideal.

Cheers,
Simon
