Ryan?  Why and how is this syntax better than the existing one?

Okay.

Please add an author line and a license line like in the old syntax.
Each newly added syntax needs those two lines.

Please do not use "bright" any more; use "light", or "bold, light".

White is impossible to read on terminals with a light background.
Use some other color.

Also, please provide a URL of a fairly-sized Haskell file, so that
I can see how the two syntaxes compare.
