Comment (by goldfire):
I think one could debate whether or not they should be under the same
flag, but it's not clear to me that a new flag is needed.
`-XTemplateHaskell` already enabled 4 different types of splices and
quotes; typed TH just adds a fifth. In any case, I'm loath to break
backward compatibility to fix this now.
My suggestion about going via the mailing list is just to see what others
think of this suggestion. Perhaps a list other than libraries@ is better.
The problem is that I don't really trust my own instincts for this kind of
user-facing design and would want to hear others weigh in. I'm not
suggesting we go through an elaborate process -- I just want a few more
voices.
