Comment:

 Thank you Reiner. I've applied the patches.  I agree with your comment
 about `rename`; indeed I propose to nuke it altogether #4423.

 Patches are:
 {{{
 -- GHC
 Sun Oct 10 14:17:20 BST 2010  Reiner Pope <reiner.pope at gmail.com>
   * Template Haskell: add view patterns (Trac #2399)

 -- template haskell library
 Sun Oct 10 13:39:05 BST 2010  Reiner Pope <reiner.pope at gmail.com
   * Added view patterns (Trac #2399)

 -- testsuite
 Sun Oct 10 13:09:43 BST 2010  Reiner Pope <reiner.pope at gmail.com>
   * Add tests for view patterns in template haskell (Trac #2399)
 }}}
 I'd quite like to push this into 7.0 if we still have time.  It's an API
 change so we can't do it in a patch release.

 Simon
