... In this proposal, you can then export "t" and "d" functions from Language.Haskell.TH with the type:
t :: String -> Type d :: String -> [Decl]
Which parse the provided string as Haskell. This allows existing any uses of Template Haskell to remain *unchanged* (as long as they imported the TH module :-). Otherwise rewrite them as:
[t|..|] ==> Language.Haskell.TH.t [|...|]
I'm concerned in both your proposals, that single-letter names like "t" and "d" are common function parameters, thus possibly producing - shadowing warnings for all such functions in modules that happen to use TH - errors, I think, for some uses of TH inside such functions (either the function parameters must be renamed, or the TH splice module-qualified) -Isaac
