Is it really that easy?  When I've queried before how to override a
package that comes with Emacs (gnus in this case) and use a different
version, I was told I was better off just sticking with the one that
comes with Emacs.

And I agree with Brandon; if you're wanting to write Haskell, you would
need more than just Emacs (though I don't think this is something that
should be in the platform).
