Template Haskell quotion for []

Hello,

I had this example that was working with earliest versions of GHC but
it doesn't work with GHC-6.6.

$(deriveReflectable ''[])

Above this isn't a double quote but two single quotes. It may not be
clear with some fonts. Is this a bug or just there is a change in the
syntax? The error that I get is:

src/Database/HarmonyDB/Instances.hs:1:0:
    Illegal variable name: `[]'
    When splicing generated code into the program


Regards,
   Krasimir
