Comment (by ekmett):

 As a brief addendum:

 You _could_ reference a non-`newName`'d variable named `type` that was
 produced from within `template-haskell` from within the language before:

 `Foo.type` parsed just fine as a qualified name.

 (This has apparently happened in some code folks have out there using
 `lens`.)
