GHC docs currently lack of .hp file format specification. This trends
people to make incorrect assumptions on file format. For example authors
of hp2any-core package attemt to use haskell read function to read job
title, but actually profiler outputs unescaped values between quotation
marks, so approach fails when quoted string contains backslashes. I
suggest to add more documentation on file format, especially how numeric
values, strings and dates represented.
