Well, something I have noticed is a definitive lack of documentation on
the Haskell side. With python, you get argument names for free, which
makes grokking the usage of a function instant, opposed to trying to
figure out (from Language.Haskell.TH, look at HApps and Parsec to see
stuff that confused me much, much more)

dataD :: CxtQ -> Name -> [Name] -> [ConQ] -> [Name] -> DecQ

it's constraints -> typename -> something -> typedef -> implements ->
result. I bet I know what goes in between the "=" and "A | B" if I want
to use it, but honestly can't think of it right now.
