Comment:

 Thanks, mrkgnao! You're on the right track by looking at the `template-
 haskell` source code. In particular, I think `showName'` is what needs to
 change, since that's what is responsible for printing out qualified
 `Name`s. It might be a simple matter of checking if a `Name` is in a set
 of special names (like `[]`, `(,)`, etc.) and printing it out unqualified
 if there's a match.

 If you have any other questions, feel free to ask on this ticket.
