Comment (by aavogt):

 running Main.hs leads to output:

 {{{
 reify uses ConT True
 AppT (ConT C.C) (ConT GHC.Types.False)
 AppT (ConT C.C) (ConT GHC.Types.True)
 oxford brackets use PromotedT
 AppT (ConT C.C) (PromotedT GHC.Types.True)
 }}}

 The output should be:

 {{{
 reify uses ConT True
 AppT (ConT C.C) (PromotedT GHC.Types.False)
 AppT (ConT C.C) (PromotedT GHC.Types.True)
 oxford brackets use PromotedT
 AppT (ConT C.C) (PromotedT GHC.Types.True)
 }}}
