-(defun turn-on-haskell-font-lock ()
-  "Turns on font locking in current buffer for Haskell 1.4 scripts.
-
-Changes the current buffer's `font-lock-defaults', and adds the
-following variables:
-
-   `haskell-keyword-face'      for reserved keywords and syntax,
-   `haskell-constructor-face'  for data- and type-constructors, class names,
-                               and module names,
-   `haskell-operator-face'     for symbolic and alphanumeric operators,
-   `haskell-default-face'      for ordinary code.
-
-The variables are initialised to the following font lock default faces:
-
-   `haskell-keyword-face'      `font-lock-keyword-face'
-   `haskell-constructor-face'  `font-lock-type-face'
-   `haskell-operator-face'     `font-lock-function-name-face'
-   `haskell-default-face'      <default face>
-
-Two levels of fontification are defined: level one (the default)
-and level two (more colour).  The former does not colour operators.
-Use the variable `font-lock-maximum-decoration' to choose
-non-default levels of fontification.  For example, adding this to
-.emacs:
-
-  (setq font-lock-maximum-decoration '((haskell-mode . 2) (t . 0)))
-
-uses level two fontification for `haskell-mode' and default level for
-all other modes.  See documentation on this variable for further
-details.
-
-To alter an attribute of a face, add a hook.  For example, to change
-the foreground colour of comments to brown, add the following line to
-.emacs:
-
-  (add-hook 'haskell-font-lock-hook
-      (lambda ()
-          (set-face-foreground 'haskell-comment-face \"brown\")))
-
-Note that the colours available vary from system to system.  To see
-what colours are available on your system, call
-`list-colors-display' from emacs.
-
-To turn font locking on for all Haskell buffers, add this to .emacs:
-
-  (add-hook 'haskell-mode-hook 'turn-on-haskell-font-lock)
-
-To turn font locking on for the current buffer, call
-`turn-on-haskell-font-lock'.  To turn font locking off in the current
-buffer, call `turn-off-haskell-font-lock'.
-
-Bird-style literate Haskell scripts are supported: If the value of
-`haskell-literate-bird-style' (automatically set by the Haskell mode
-of Moss&Thorn) is non-nil, a Bird-style literate script is assumed.

-Invokes `haskell-font-lock-hook' if not nil."
