Comment (by jstolarek):

 Yes, the implementation is actually a matter of ~30 minutes of hacking.
 There is one catch though: `HsUnboundVar`, used to represent holes, always
 stores `RdrName`. That becomes a problem in `DsMeta`, where we expect
 `Name`s. My solution: parametrize `HsUnboundVar` with `id` like all the
 other constructors in `HsExpr`. I'm not certain if I got the details right
 - patch will require careful review in several place (I will mark those on
 Phab with inline comments).
