Comment (by simonpj):

 I'm not sure whether you want to dump out the entire source code (after
 expanding splices); or just the splices (which is what `-ddump-splices`
 does.

 If the former, then you need to dump the typechecker output (rather than
 the earlier renamer output) because type splices are expanded by the type
 checker.
