Comment (by harpocrates):

 Thanks for figuring out what the issue was in 8.2.2! Isn't this actually
 great news? Once https://phabricator.haskell.org/D5220 makes it through,
 the code that `Lift` will generate won't involve `conE`, `mkNameG_d`, etc.
 - it'll just be generating syntax for a bracket!

 I'm gonna try this out just to make sure I'm not missing anything. Another
 sanity check will be to see where we still use `THNames`.

 What do you think?
