Re: Why are nested brackets disallowed?

I think Geoff was primarily concerned with typed Template Haskell, not the untyped variety. I, too, have wondered if there was a technical reason behind this restriction, or if merely it was assumed that nested brackets were not worthwhile. One question: how would staging work between nesting levels of brackets? Richard

There is a check in `RnSplice` which errors on the following program with nested brackets.

It might be good to explicitly include Geoff Mainland in this thread. I'm not sure he'll see it otherwise.
