Proposal: ValidateMonoLiterals - Initial bikeshed discussion

[Simon Peyton Jones]

I'm all for it.  Syntax sounds like the main difficulty.  Today you could use quasiquotatoin
	[even| 38 |]
and get the same effect as $$(validate 38).  But it's still noisy.

So: what is the non-noisy scheme you want to propose?  You don't quite get to that in the wiki page!
