You do realize that "design-by-committee" is generally understood to
refer to the antipattern where a committee discusses a design to death

My bet:
- Bitstream Vera Sans M
There's one of my hobby projects that could use some manpower to
bootstrap it into a production-quality tool. It's an HTML templating
system; right now it reads input templates in one of two languages (one
very declarative, very similar to Python's jinja2, the other being a
locally-pure functional
It is a pure value in the context of the outer monad (the one you wrap it
in). I'd say pure is still appropriate.

Note that at least for the dropWhile example, there is a specialized
function, dropWhileEnd, which is most likely more efficient than reversing
the list twice.

IIRC you can use haskell-src-exts to parse a string into TH AST structures.
There might even be a quasi-quoter for that; I don't have a real computer
at hand right more, so you'll need to do some research of your own.
