Hi Magicloud,

GHC seems to be trying to tell you that variables are lowercase in
haskell. Since you don't have code, I'm guessing your error is from
doing something like:

> wrong1 = print ($(dyn "Just") 5)
> wrong2 = print ($(varE 'Just) 5)

Which is a compile time error since you apparently can't pass a Name
which is capitalized to `VarE :: Name -> Exp'

Any of these options work. They use the  `ConE :: Name -> Exp'
constructor instead:

> opt1 = print ($(conE (mkName "Just")) 5)
> opt2 = print ($(conE 'Just) 5)
> opt3 = print ($( [| Just |]) 5 )
