Might it not be better to do it this way?

  deps = base,haskell98,network

  [${deps},"foo"] => (expand $-reference)
  [base,haskell98,network,"foo"] => (quote things)
  ["base","haskell98","network","foo"]

The idea is that unquoted things get implicitly quoted, so you don't 
need to quote ${deps}.
