New description: Currently typed TH feels a bit second-class as it lacks a number of handy utilities which are provided in the untyped case. In my brief look at this I encountered the following, {{{#!hs type TExpQ a = Q (TExp a) stringT :: String -> TExpQ String trueT, falseT :: TExpQ Bool }}} Names still need bike-shedded. Of course, another reasonable option would just be to rather push users to instead use quotes. -- -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12103#comment:2 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
