  	-----------------------------------------
  	Fix 'mkName' operator in Template Haskell
  	so that it handles built-in syntax
  	-----------------------------------------
  
  	Merge to stable branch
  
  The 'mkName' function in Template Haskell wasn't dealing correctly with
  built-in syntax.  The parser generates Exact RdrNames for built-in syntax
  operators, such as ':' and '[]'; and hence so should Convert.
  
  At the same time I'm now generating a better error message in TH when
  you use a constructor as a variable or vice versa.
