And - re the Hackage library rank - the next logical step is to
analyse the actual extension usage before deciding what goes into
Haskell'.  (Not that it should be the sole deciding factor, of
course.)

Without implicit parameters, you can use (?) as an operator regardless
of spacing.  And, I think, some constructs (list
comprehensions?) have a different meaning with Template Haskell.

Most of unintended usages would probably end up as errors, though.
