Comment (by Fuuzetsu):

 Also a problem on 7.10.2

 The `Ppr` instance for `LetS` constructor is just not good enough.

 {{{#!hs
 Prelude Language.Haskell.TH.Ppr Language.Haskell.TH> pprint <$> runQ [| do
 { let { x = 5; y = 3 }; return x; } |]
 "do {let x_0 = 5\n        y_1 = 3;\n    GHC.Base.return x_0}"
 }}}

 Worst thing is that there is no easy way to override this…
