hey Albert, could you open a ticket on ghc Trac about the QuasiQuot thing?

The new dynamism is pretty nice! I even used GHC 7.6.3 to build cabal-install 1.18, then played with PATH so that when I said "cabal install mtl" it saw GHC 7.8. It correctly added -dynamic-too and built both *.a and *.so in one go. This is very user-friendly.

Still, I observed a few oddities.

1. Referring to the user guide section 2.3 "loading compiled code", it is now insufficient to "ghc -c D.hs". It has to be "ghc -c -dynamic D.hs".

Perhaps more importantly, "ghc -c -dynamic-too D.hs" is also insufficient. Apparently, while TemplateHaskell considers both *.hi and *.dyn_hi, :load considers *.hi only.

2. My experiment began with just QuasiQuote. QuasiQuote needs as much dynamism as TemplateHaskell. Yet, QuasiQuote does not trigger a nice implicit -dynamic-too, unlike TemplateHaskell.
