I have just sketched a different proposal here: https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/StaticData

IMO it is more generic and the different parts can be implemented independently.

Note: Not all GHC have `TemplateHaskell`, especially stage 1 GHC. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/5218#comment:85 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
