------------------------------------
	Major increment for Template Haskell
	------------------------------------

1.  New abstract data type "Name" which appears where String used to be.
    E.g. 	data Exp = VarE Name | ...

2.  New syntax 'x and ''T, for quoting Names.  It's rather like [| x |]
    and [t| T |] respectively, except that

	a) it's non-monadic:  'x :: Name
	b) you get a Name not an Exp or Type

3.  reify is an ordinary function
	reify :: Name -> Q Info
    New data type Info which tells what TH knows about Name

4.  Local variables work properly.  So this works now (crashed before):
	f x = $( [| x |] )

5.  THSyntax is split up into three modules:

  Language.Haskell.TH		TH "clients" import this

  Language.Haskell.TH.THSyntax	data type declarations and internal stuff

  Language.Haskell.TH.THLib	Support library code (all re-exported
				by TH), including smart constructors and
				pretty printer

6.  Error reporting and recovery are in (not yet well tested)

	report :: Bool {- True <=> fatal -} -> String -> Q ()
	recover :: Q a -> Q a -> Q a

7.  Can find current module

	currentModule :: Q String

Much other cleaning up, needless to say.
