+I've collected all the Haskell modes for GNU Emacs that I could lay my
+hands on -- there are billions.  A list is attached, grouped by
+"family".
+
+I don't like "mode junk" myself, so I don't use any of them.  I will
+include advertising or testimonials from happy users if they send them
+along...
