New description:

 I was trying to get some template haskell thing to work and was messing
 around and ran into this bug.
 {{{
 Prelude> let $([d||])
 ghc: panic! (the 'impossible' happened)
   (GHC version 7.8.2 for x86_64-unknown-linux):
         cvBindsAndSigs $[splice{v}]([d| |])

 Please report this as a GHC bug:  http://www.haskell.org/ghc/reportabug

 Prelude>
 }}}

 The following file:
 {{{
 {-# LANGUAGE TemplateHaskell #-}
 let $([d||])
 main = do
    return ()
 }}}
 gives the following error message:
 {{{
 test.hs:3:1:
     parse error (possibly incorrect indentation or mismatched brackets)
 }}}
 but doesn't crash. So it seems to be ghci-specific...?



 the other oxford brackets work fine (or don't suffer from exactly the same
 bug, anyway)
