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.
