So I'm interested if there are other libraries that are more suitable to the task of generating haskell code for library use, and thus generate 'human readable' exported code (so no TH). I'm also interested in how other projects generate code for their packages.

Since you ask how other packages solve this problem, and since most packages use template haskell, I have to ask: why can't you use template haskell for this? Another option (also not code generation, but very useful in reducing boilerplate) is generic programming, for example using the 'regular' package, or the new generics in GHC 7.2. Erik
