  I wonder if that fact, and the fact that -- is the decrement operator
in C++, could be used to create a C++/Haskell polyglot.

  (Of course some people could argue that such a thing would be an
abomination and an affront to everything that is holy and just in this
world...)

The other Fun Thing is that Haskell uses "{-" and "-}" as comment 
delimiters. (Although I guess those aren't valid fragments in C++.)

Ooo, and not forgetting that Haskell allows you to define "//", "/*" and 
"*/" as operator names. :-D

Yes, actually.

Then again, I'm the kind of sick person who occasionally delights in 
such things... I guess I had a disturbed childhood or something.

Count the supported languages. I don't know if it's the most awesome thing 
in the world or just an abomination far greater than your idea.

Oh sweet! Literate Haskell... I hadn't even thought of that.

  I counted these (some of which I'm just guessing):

- Whitespace
- zsh script
- bash script
- sh script
- Ruby
- Perl
- tcl
- Makefile
- C++ (with and without trigraphs)
- C89, C99 (with and without trigraphs)
- Haskell
- Brainfuck
- Python
- HTML (well, not really a programming language, but...)
- Javascript

  That's at least 15.
