Yes, I guess what I posted did invite this kind of religious outpouring.

But I really *did* want to know whether there were in fact a set of
Haskell coding conventions or a set of style suggestions published
somewhere on the net or elsewhere. Is there? I've looked in the FAQ, on
the Hugs and GHC sites, and other places. What the Prelude style is does
seem pretty clear, and people are always pointed to it as an example of
good Haskell code, but there are dense people out there (e.g., me) who
might benefit from also seeing that style documented somewhere, as I'm
guessing it surely is.
