How about a tool that de-htmlizes the htmlized source, shipped with
ghc6-doc? Then there is no need to add more text files and we get this
feature for all packages shipping hscoloured files.

Additional points if this tool, if given a module name instead of a file
name, finds the location of the htmlized source itself.
