Cabal strips out { and } in literate code blocks of the description field

[guest]

If you have a description like this:

description: Here is some C code:
             .
             > for(i = 0; i < 100; i++){
             >   printf("%d\n",i);
             > }
             .

Cabal will strip out the brackets. You can use @..@ syntax with { and } except that then the whitespace is off in your code block and you have to escape any symbols that haddock knows. Putting a blackslash (\) in front the braces does not help.

The above example works fine in plain haddock leading me the conclusion that cabal is eating the braces.
