| $( | if ghcVersion >= read "6.5" | then | let | foo1 = dyn "foo" | wombat1 = dyn "wombat" | in | [d| | blah blah blah | blah $foo1 blah | blah $wombat1 blah | |] Well you could say | $( | if ghcVersion >= read "6.5" | then | [d| | blah blah blah | blah $(dyn "foo") blah | blah $(dyn "wombat") blah | |] which seems better to me. We did also consider %x as shorthand for $(dyn "x"). I agree about import splices, but I'm less convinced about this one, since you can always get around it. Simon
