Re: Positional cues or not

I don't particularly care whether the convention is {--- -} or {-# DOC #-} (with a slight preference for the latter, because it is consistent with existing conventions).

Let me re-iterate. I really think, there should be a variant for consecutive chunks of -- comments, too. The latter are better handled by Emacs' font-locking and I don't really want to compromise on the visual presentation in the editor. For example, -- -- -- This is a great function -- that I use a lot foo :: .. could be equivalent to {---- This is a great function that I use a lot -} foo :: .. Cheers, Manuel
