and there aren't very many possibilities for the leading characters of a Haskell source file, are there?
Since a Haskell program is a sequence of Unicode code points the programmer can choose from up to 1,112,064 characters. Many of these can legitimately be part of the interface of a module, as function names, operators or names of types.
Colin spoke of *leading* characters, for .hs files, that drastically reduces the possibilities - not for .lhs, though.
