Comment:

 Thanks for the report.  I intended `-ddump-splices` as a debugging aid; it
 was never intended to print out compilable Haskell.  It's not an
 unreasonable thing to want, but as you discovered someone would have to do
 quite a bit of fiddling to make it happen.

 So I'll retitle as a feature request. Thanks for the specific list of
 changes needed.
