Comment (by carter):

 Edsko seems to have a good proof of concept that the notion of Static
 needed for Cloud Haskell is implementable in user land here
 https://github.com/haskell-distributed/distributed-
 static/commit/d2bd2ebca5a96ea5df621770e98bfb7a3b745bc7
 https://github.com/haskell-distributed/distributed-static/tree/static-
 with-hsplugins

 on the static-with-hsplugins branch of distributed-static.

 it seems like that TH + GHC API / hs-plugin approach edsko has shared gets
 most of the way there! Is there anything that this solution lacks?
