 Here is the motivation TemplateHaskell/Reify.

 It would be useful to have a way to obtain types of identifiers in the
 current declaration group in splices. However, {{{reify}}} is defined to
 provide information about identifiers in previous declaration groups only.

 It would be fine to allow {{{reify}}} to work in a scheme combined with
 {{{addModFinalizer}}} or similar so it is executed when the types are
 known.
