Hi everyone,

Matthew Pickering proposed to make Q (TExp a) into a newtype called Code.
Proposal #195: https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/blob/22e97d7693edb0b3676c948a123e57ea93c462e3/proposals/0000-code-texp.rst<https://nam06.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fghc-proposals%2Fghc-proposals%2Fblob%2F22e97d7693edb0b3676c948a123e57ea93c462e3%2Fproposals%2F0000-code-texp.rst&data=02%7C01%7Csimonpj%40microsoft.com%7C283dee8b70474ae9761308d6a3910fb5%7C72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7C1%7C0%7C636876240764020521&sdata=Cq32fdykV9oonakOOFbAnV7LulmupHXHq0p2c9raKFs%3D&reserved=0>

It looks like the motivation behind this proposal boils down to the convenience of writing instances which seems a good thing. The minor problem I see is the proposed name "Code" as it looks a little bit too abstract for Typed Template Haskell expressions. Nevertheless, I recommend to accept the proposal as it is. Silence is understood as agreement.

Regards,
Vitaly
