That's what I suspected judging from the behaviour I've seen.  Is
anyone else interested in such work?  I don't have much time either,
in particular I'm not sufficiently familiar with emacs and Lisp to do
something useful quickly.

Good idea, but specifying ghc is ambiguous: it'll have to be either
ghci, runghc/runhaskell, oder hugs, or maybe some other
interpreter/compiler someone else would like to use (nhc98, etc.,
there a quite a few).  At least the three options I listed all have
incompatibilities in even the simplest use cases, owing to the
peculiarities of Haskell as a pure, declarative language.

Also, using runghc would require the code block to be tangled first
into a temporary file.  Is that easily done in babel?
