Comment (by neil):

 For something like [], we don't want to generate GHC.Base.[], we would
 want to generate Prelude.[], if anything. We may be able to have some
 notion of what a fixed list of names are when not in GHC, but it will
 never be complete.

 I'm not sure if Derive should be messing with module imports, that's
 something that could go wrong quite easily. I'm not sure what fixes (if
 any) could be made to Template Haskell to make Derive style usage more
 natural.

 Neil (Derive author)
