+hstyle is a code style checker for Haskell programs.  So far it's just a
+quick-and-dirty implementation of a few of the simplest requirements found in
+the [Snap Framework's Haskell Style
+Guide](http://snapframework.com/docs/style-guide).  In the future we hope to
+build more sophisticated checking.  The ultimate goal would be an automatic
+reformatter that generates gorgeous code--but that's a hard problem.

+description:    Originally intended to automate style checking for the Snap
+                project.  But the project should be general enough to work
+                with other style guides.
