Comment(by errge):

 Ohh, sorry, I forgot to continue this ticket.

 So, I looked a bit around, and Annotations sounds good and the way to go.

 I checked, there is no Template Haskell functionality either for getting
 back annotations when reifying functions or modules (there is no module
 reification at all).  Also, there is no support for generating annotations
 from TH.

 If I have time to take care of either one, I'll try, but I'm a bit
 underqualified :)
