Re: [Template-haskell] Lift instances of the AST-related types

Make a Trac feature request?

I'll be happy to do it.

Augmenting Ian's library so that when you got the library you thereby got the Lift instances (themselves generated by the library) for the TH data types.

In that way the whole thing could be done by modifying Ian's library without touching GHC, which is always good.

That's exactly what my patch+new module are supposed to do. I'm still waiting for Ian to review it and maybe include them in his library. Besides, since automatic instantiation of Lift seems to be a basic need for a TH programmer, Wouldn't it be a good idea to merge th-lift with the mainstream template-haskell library? Cheers, Fons
