Ah I see. Although you presumably meant mkSysDef :: Name -> Q ([String] -> [String] -> SysDef) else it'd be ill-typed.

Yes, sure, sorry for the typo.

Actually mkSysDef :: Name -> Q ([String] -> [String] -> SysDef) would also be ill-typed, it should be mkSysDef :: Name -> ExpQ.

It's a nice illustration of why the proposed feature is useful. I'd be happy if you added it.

I'll add it then.
