Hello, In the haskell-src-exts quasi quoter there is some code to convert all names in `dataToQa` to global names. The reasoning is according to the source: -- | The generic functions in 'Language.Haskell.TH.Quote' don't use global -- names for syntax constructors. This has the unfortunate effect of breaking -- quotation when the haskell-src-exts syntax module is imported qualified. -- The solution is to set the flavour of all names to 'NameG'. qualify :: Name -> Name -- Need special cases for constructors used in string literals. Assume nearly -- all else is a datatype defined in Syntax module of haskell-src-exts. qualify n | ":" <- nameBase n = '(:) {- snip: quite some excluded constructors -} | otherwise = Name (mkOccName (nameBase n)) flavour {- snip: some code for the flavour -} For the full source code see [1]. When fixing the pattern quasi quoter this qualification caused a long error (when using the quasi quoter). So in a simple attempt to fix it I replaced `qualify` with `id` and it all worked. Now assuming that the qualification code was needed for some past version of GHC I would like to make the implementation dependent on the version of GHC. The only problem is that I haven't found the right version of GHC where this behaviour changed. Does somebody know at what version it was needed?
