Comment:

 Replying to [comment:3 JeremyShaw]:
 > It seems like there are (at least) two ways haddock and template-haskell
 could interact:

 here is another way:

 3. explanding slices of type `Q String` in haddock comments.

 The main usecase would be to execute example code and have the results in
 the documentation, and not having to worry about it going out of sync or,
 a little bit more fancy, generate diagrams (as discussed at
 https://github.com/diagrams/diagrams-doc/issues/2#issuecomment-11433786).

 Maybe this is not really Template Haskell then, as you want it to run
 after the module is compiled, as you need to access the definitions
 therein, and not while, but from a user point of view it certainly looks
 like it.
