Hi Chris,

like Jeremy said the support for TH in haskell-src-exts is legacy from
GHC pre-6.4 (iirc) and needs updating. So don't look too closely at
the things that are in there right now. It shouldn't be hard to fix to
work with 6.8, I just need to find the time to sit down and do it.
I'll try to get it fixed this week.

Cheers,

/Niklas
