Re: [ghc-steering-committee] Please review #696: Splitting out stable interfaces from template-haskell

I read through the GH issues and the proposal when it was last posted to this list. TH is somewhat problematic in a number of areas but this proposal is a good start at addressing that. I vote accept. Erik Sebastian Graf via ghc-steering-committee wrote:

Dear Committee,

With their proposal, Teo wants to reduce the maintenance cost for packages (such as `containers`) that depend on `template-haskell` only for comparatively stable APIs (`Lift`, quasiquoting), by carving out separate packages for these stable APIs. These so-called "type (A) clients" constitute a considerable share of all clients of `template-haskell`. It is a well-written proposal outlining a simple solution with a great cost/benefit ratio. I recommend we accept it.

Cheers, Sebastian

Dear Committee,

Teo Camarasu proposes to split out smaller, more coherent packages with more stable interfaces from the template-haskell package:

https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/696

https://github.com/TeofilC/ghc-proposals/blob/wip/th-lift-and-quasiquote/pro...

I'd like to nominate Sebastian as the shepherd.

Please guide us to a conclusion as outlined in https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals#committee-process

Cheers,

Adam
