So I mentioned a while ago I meant to go over XMC using the 'sim' tool (with an invocation like sim_mira `find . -name "*.hs"` - I discovered recently that it had Miranda support, which means quasi-Haskell support). But the results are littered with comments.
Particularly obnoxious are the module headers, in part because they all seem to use '--' comments even if they cover dozens of lines. Would anyone object if I were to edit those to use {- -} style (and push those edits without review)?

I would find this rather annoying, as I'm not a big fan of the multi-line comment syntax. Furthermore, I note that most Haskell libraries mark each line with "--" rather than use "{-" in Haddocks. What is sim? Why are comments an issue? Cheers, Spencer Janssen
