I propose to make UTF-8 the only allowed encoding for Haskell source files. Implementations must discard an initial Byte Order Mark (BOM) if present [3].

How would that affect the non-code parts of literate Haskell (*.lhs) files? In particular, would it place any burden on third-party tools processing these files? Tillmann
