 The following untyped Template Haskell works as expected:

 {{{#!hs
 --- AddTopDecls.hs ---
 {-# LANGUAGE TemplateHaskell #-}
 {-# LANGUAGE QuasiQuotes     #-}

 module AddTopDecls where

 import Language.Haskell.TH
 import Language.Haskell.TH.Syntax

 importDoubleToDouble :: String -> ExpQ
 importDoubleToDouble fname = do
     n <- newName fname
     d <- forImpD CCall unsafe fname n [t|Double -> Double|]
     addTopDecls [d]
     varE n

 --- Main.hs ---
 {-# LANGUAGE TemplateHaskell #-}

 module Main where

 import AddTopDecls

 main :: IO ()
 main = do
     let sin' = $(importDoubleToDouble "sin")
         cos' = $(importDoubleToDouble "cos")
     --
     print (sin' 0)
     print (cos' pi)
 }}}

 However it fails if I convert to the equivalent typed version:

 {{{#!hs
 --- AddTopDecls.hs ---
 {-# LANGUAGE TemplateHaskell #-}
 {-# LANGUAGE QuasiQuotes     #-}

 module AddTopDecls where

 import Language.Haskell.TH
 import Language.Haskell.TH.Syntax

 importDoubleToDouble :: String -> Q (TExp (Double -> Double))
 importDoubleToDouble fname = do
     n <- newName fname
     d <- forImpD CCall unsafe fname n [t|Double -> Double|]
     addTopDecls [d]
     unsafeTExpCoerce (varE n)

 --- Main.hs ---
 {-# LANGUAGE TemplateHaskell #-}

 module Main where

 import AddTopDecls

 main :: IO ()
 main = do
     let sin' = $$(importDoubleToDouble "sin")
         cos' = $$(importDoubleToDouble "cos")
     --
     print (sin' 0)
     print (cos' pi)
 }}}

 With the error:

       In the Template Haskell splice $$(importDoubleToDouble "sin")
   |

   |                   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 }}}

 Tested with 7.10.3, 8.0.2, and 8.2.0-rc1.

 Unfortunately I can't use untyped TH in my real use case, so if you have
 any suggestions for a workaround that would also be great.
