[Haskell-cafe] Template Haskell: onward and upward

[Gregory Crosswhite]

  Since you are proposing creating an abstract type TExp that can't be 
created manually in contrast to Exp, I have a question that might simply 
be a reflection of ignorance on my part on how TH works now.

As far as I can tell by looking through the documentation, when I want 
to create an identifier with a computed name I have to build up the AST 
manually rather than by using quoters since there is no way to splice an 
identifier name into a quoter.  Does this mean that it will not be 
possible to construct a TExp with a computed identifier name, since one 
can only use the quoter syntax and not manual construction?

Thanks,
Greg
