+Note [Quoting names]
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+A quoted name is a bit like a quoted expression, except that we have no
+cross-stage lifting (c.f. TcExpr.thBrackId). 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 [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
+ -> do { mb_name <- lookupSrcOcc_maybe rdr_name
; case mb_name of
Just name -> return name
Nothing -> failWithTc (notInScope th_name) }
