Comment (by Frederik):
Isaac, we have already discussed the issue of hs vs. lhs. See the comment
starting '03/30/07 03:53:46: Modified by panne'. My view is: for
extensionless files, (1) there should be a default interpretation
(requiring no arguments to runghc), and (2) it should be hs, not lhs,
since the former is more concise and more useful for short scripts. This
seems to be the majority view. I would not object for there to be a way to
tell runghc to assume that a file with no extension is actually literate
haskell, and not haskell; however, I would object if either (1) or (2) are
not satisfied, since I believe that not having normal haskell as a default
for scripts would become an unnecessary burden for users.
