Make GHC accept .format+lhs as extension for literate haskell files
I proposed this solution on the mailing list as a solution to allowing other tools to determine what the type of the non-haskell content in a literate haskell file is. For example, whether a document is markdown + literate haskell or reStructuredText + literate haskel.
There were no real objections on the mailing list and this approach has been tested and works on Windows.
