commit eb257c32abd254c8f28f3b127746dadcfee91461

    Fix #1476 by making splice patterns work.
    
    Unfortunately, splice patterns in brackets still do not work
    because we don't run splices in brackets. Without running a pattern
    splice, we can't know what variables it binds, so we're stuck.
    
    This is still a substantial improvement, and it may be the best
    we can do. Still must document new behavior.

+Note [rnSplicePat]
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Renaming a pattern splice is a bit tricky, because we need the variables
+bound in the pattern to be in scope in the RHS of the pattern. This scope
+management is effectively done by using continuation-passing style in
+RnPat, through the CpsRn monad. We don't wish to be in that monad here
+(it would create import cycles and generally conflict with renaming other
+splices), so we really want to return a (Pat RdrName) -- the result of
+running the splice -- which can then be further renamed in RnPat, in
+the CpsRn monad.
+
+The problem is that if we're renaming a splice within a bracket, we
+*don't* want to run the splice now. We really do just want to rename
+it to an HsSplice Name. Of course, then we can't know what variables
+are bound within the splice, so pattern splices within brackets aren't
+all that useful.
+
+In any case, when we're done in rnSplicePat, we'll either have a
+Pat RdrName (the result of running a top-level splice) or a Pat Name
+(the renamed nested splice). Thus, the awkward return type of
+rnSplicePat.
