Hi * for what it's worth, I really like the idea. Its purpose is clear, it's easy to use, it's straightforward to understand, and it seems there are only benefits that come with it. I at least would be an immediate user, as it gives a compile-time fence to custom hard-coded stuff. E.g. it is sometimes simpler and nicer to put something in a string literal rather than an explicit AST. (Just my 2 cents -- I'm not a TH expert.)

I've been repeatedly running into problems with overloaded literals and partial conversion functions, so I wrote up an initial proposal ( https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/ValidateMonoLiterals) and I'd like to commence with the bikeshedding and hearing other opinions :)
Cheers, Merijn
