Remove deprecated quasiquote syntax

[Simon Peyton Jones]

I'm all for it, if the broader community (e.g. the developers of those packages) are ok.

|  Subject: Remove deprecated quasiquote syntax
|  
|  The [$qq| quasiquote syntax has been deprecated since around 2010.
|  
|  Is there any objection to removing the backwards compatibility now?
|  
|  I counted 216 uses of it on hackage in a handful of packages, some in
|  comments.
