To clarify, what he said was that hscolouring Happy output did not
_enhance_ its readability. In other words, you can put lipstick on a
pig, but it's still a pig.

Try it! I reckon it looks pretty good actually. Lexically, the
difference between Happy and H'98 sources is negligible.

It seems likely that preserving the literate comments is the sensible
thing to do, since we are linking together documentation here
(haddock/source). HsColour has -lit and -lit-tex options, to avoid
colouring the literate comments from a .lhs.
