 For example, with this code:

 `Main.hs`:
 {{{#!hs
 {-# LANGUAGE TemplateHaskell #-}
 {-# OPTIONS_GHC -ddump-splices -ddump-to-file #-}

 module Main where

 main :: IO ()
 main = do
   putStrLn $( [| "\n\n\n" |] )
   putStrLn $( [| "\"" |] )
 }}}

 This is output:

 `Main.dump-splices`:
 {{{
 Main.hs:8:15-28: Splicing expression [| "\n\n\n" |] ======> "

 "
 Main.hs:9:15-24: Splicing expression [| "\"" |] ======> """
 }}}

 … which is not valid Haskell.
