 I trusted that the splice results shown by `-ddump-splices` were correct.
 They weren't, which caused me to waste a lot of time debugging my Template
 Haskell expressions when they were already correct.

 {{{
 $ ghc --version
 The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 8.4.3
 }}}

 == Example program ==

 {{{#!hs
 {-# OPTIONS_GHC -ddump-splices #-}
 {-# LANGUAGE TemplateHaskell #-}

 module Main where

 import Language.Haskell.TH.Syntax  (Lift(lift))

 main = print ( $( lift (toInteger (maxBound :: Int) + 1) )
              , $( lift (minBound :: Int) )
              )
 }}}

 == Output of `runghc` ==

 Note that the output of the program on the bottom line below is correct.
 The two splice results shown by `-ddump-splices` incorrectly match each
 other:

 {{{
 Example.hs:8:19-56: Splicing expression
     lift (toInteger (maxBound :: Int) + 1) ======> -9223372036854775808
 Example.hs:9:19-40: Splicing expression
     lift (minBound :: Int) ======> (-9223372036854775808)
 (9223372036854775808,-9223372036854775808)
 }}}
