Bug in The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System User's Guide, Version 6.4

[Allen Brown]

Section 7.6.1 reads:

	 expression quotation is written in Oxford brackets, thus: 

	*	[| ... |], where the "..." is an expression; the
quotation has type Expr.

On the other hand GHCi 6.4 behaves as follows:

	Prelude V02pIL> :type [|"foo"|]
	[|"foo"|] :: Language.Haskell.TH.Lib.ExpQ

Hence it appears that the implementation does not agree with the
documentation as to what might be the type of a quasi-quoted expression.
