Arguably this is symptomatic of a major problem affecting TTH where we serialise renamed asts and then retype check them. The reference to the dictionary should be fully determined at the quote site so that splicing doesn't have to solve any implicits at all. It's a coincidence this works due to coherence but see #15863 and #15865 for examples where things do go very wrong. Fixes #16195 }}} -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/15863#comment:3 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
