This major new feature of Template Haskell is barely reflected in the user manual at all, except a cryptic reference to "a typed expression splice".
Might it be possible to add a summary; such as the very fact that there are now two pretty separate parts of TH: the untyped part and the typed part. Plus some links to your blog posts, the TH blog post that described the change? Are there any other relevant links?
