Hello, I'm wondering whether annotations [1] could be made available to Template Haskell users as a ghc specific extension. Would that be feasible? Would it be useful? An example use would be annotating a type with a representation of a default value that could be used in generating instances for various type classes (like parsers that take the default value into account). The alternative would be to pass that representation explicitely to every single Template Haskell invocation that uses it. Regards, Bertram [1] http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Annotations
