Note that what Haskell does is *semi*-literate-programming, something
that has little to do with literate programming.  Neil Van Dyke is
working on a tool that is going to be more like
semi-literate-programming.

Also, in both cases the main difficulty is how to make both aspects of
the code available: you want to usually run the code, but in other
cases you want just the documentation.  With the new submdules, this
is now possible to do in a single module, so perhaps its time to add a
semi-literate thing...
