 The documentation for `Language.Haskell.TH.Lib`
 [http://git.haskell.org/ghc.git/blob/9e862765ffe161da8a4fd9cd67b0a600874feaa9:/libraries
 /template-haskell/Language/Haskell/TH/Lib.hs#l8 claims]:

 {{{#!hs
 -- All of the exports from this module should
 -- be "public" functions.  The main module TH
 -- re-exports them all.
 }}}

 Sadly, this isn't true. There are a number of functions that
 `Language.Haskell.TH` accidentally forgets to export. Notably, this
 includes all of the unboxed tuple library functions, as noticed
 [https://phabricator.haskell.org/D2448#inline-20282 here], but there are
 many others as well.

 To avoid this sort of thing in the future, I think the cleanest solution
 would be to just reexport the entirely of the `Language.Haskell.TH.Lib`
 module from `Language.Haskell.TH`. This would have the downside that
 you'll have to click an extra link in order to see the Haddocks for
 `Language.Haskell.TH.Lib`, but I believe the simplification will be worth
 it.
