The Haskell standard system for putting information for the compiler in
things which look like comments is obnoxious, but fortunately not _very_
common. I don't think it justifies adding yet another comment notation for
Haskell. If you compile with unlit and with cpp, like a lot
of GHC, there must be at least 4 ways of distinguishing information for
humans from information for the compiler, which seems to me excessive.
Yet again I feel that the language would be improved by taking things out
rather than adding more things. In my opinion you could get by very well
in Haskell with just "--".
