+Note [Template Haskell levels]
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+* Imported things are impLevel (= 0)
+
+* In GHCi, variables bound by a previous command are treated
+ as impLevel, because we have bytecode for them.
+
+* Variables are bound at the "current level"
+
+* The current level starts off at topLevel (= 1)
+
+* The level is decremented by splicing $(..)
+ incremented by brackets [| |]
+ incremented by name-quoting 'f
+
+When a variable is used, we compare
+ bind: binding level, and
+ use: current level at usage site
+
+ Generally
+ bind > use Always error (bound later than used)
+ [| \x -> $(f x) |]
+
+ bind = use Always OK (bound same stage as used)
+ [| \x -> $(f [| x |]) |]
+
+ bind < use Inside brackets, it depends
+ Inside splice, OK
+ Inside neither, OK
+
+ For (bind < use) inside brackets, there are three cases:
+ - Imported things OK f = [| map |]
+ - Top-level things OK g = [| f |]
+ - Non-top-level Only if there is a liftable instance
+ h = \(x:Int) -> [| x |]
+
+See Note [What is a top-level Id?]
+
+Note [Quoting names]
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+A quoted name 'n is a bit like a quoted expression [| n |], except that we
+have no cross-stage lifting (c.f. TcExpr.thBrackId). So, after incrementing
+the use-level to account for the brackets, the cases are:
+
+ bind > use Error
+ bind = use OK
+ bind < use
+ Imported things OK
+ Top-level things OK
+ Non-top-level Error
+
+See Note [What is a top-level Id?] in TcEnv. Examples:
+
+ f 'map -- OK; also for top-level defns of this module
+
+ \x. f 'x -- Not ok (whereas \x. f [| x |] might have been ok, by
+ -- cross-stage lifting
+
+ \y. [| \x. $(f 'y) |] -- Not ok (same reason)
+
+ [| \x. $(f 'x) |] -- OK
+
+
+Note [What is a top-level Id?]
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+In the level-control criteria above, we need to know what a "top level Id" is.
+There are three kinds:
+ * Imported from another module (GlobalId, ExternalName)
+ * Bound at the top level of this module (ExternalName)
+ * In GHCi, bound by a previous stmt (GlobalId)
+It's strange that there is no one criterion tht picks out all three, but that's
+how it is right now. (The obvious thing is to give an ExternalName to GHCi Ids
+bound in an earlier Stmt, but what module would you choose? See
+Note [Interactively-bound Ids in GHCi] in TcRnDriver.)
+
+The predicate we use is TcEnv.thTopLevelId.

+Note [Exceptions in TH]
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Supppose we have something like this
+ $( f 4 )
+where
+ f :: Int -> Q [Dec]
+ f n | n>3 = fail "Too many declarations"
+ | otherwise = ...
+
+The 'fail' is a user-generated failure, and should be displayed as a
+perfectly ordinary compiler error message, not a panic or anything
+like that. Here's how it's processed:
+
+ * 'fail' is the monad fail. The monad instance for Q in TH.Syntax
+ effectively transforms (fail s) to
+ qReport True s >> fail
+ where 'qReport' comes from the Quasi class and fail from its monad
+ superclass.
+
+ * The TcM monad is an instance of Quasi (see TcSplice), and it implements
+ (qReport True s) by using addErr to add an error message to the bag of errors.
+ The 'fail' in TcM raises a UserError, with the uninteresting string
+ "IOEnv failure"
+
+ * So, when running a splice, we catch all exceptions; then for
+ - a UserError "IOEnv failure", we assume the error is already
+ in the error-bag (above)
+ - other errors, we add an error to the bag
+ and then fail
+
+
To call runQ in the Tc monad, we need to make TcM an instance of Quasi:
\begin{code}
Nothing | not (isSrcRdrName rdr_name) -- Exact, Orig
-> lookupImportedName rdr_name
| otherwise -- Unqual, Qual

+ -> do { mb_name <- lookupSrcOcc_maybe rdr_name
; case mb_name of
Just name -> return name
Nothing -> failWithTc (notInScope th_name) }
