Wow, that actually works.

That is very surprising, counter-intuitive, and undocumented.
Quasi-quotation is supposed to be a mechanism by which you can
define your own compile-time syntax. One would expect GHC to
stay out of the way as much as possible. People who need
some way to quote "|]" can define their own syntax for that.

And if that really is intended to be a supported feature, you
would certainly think it important enough to warrant a mention
in the GHC docs.

So even if this works, I wouldn't rely on it until we get confirmation
from the GHC team that it is indeed a supported a feature and won't
go away in some future version of GHC.
