Can containers depend on Template Haskell?

I repeat my idea that it would be nice to have a static meta-programming
or generic programming feature. That is, you write a piece of meta-code
in a pragma and using a tool, the meta-code is expanded to Haskell code.
This way you will need the metaprogramming feature only when you change
the meta-code. The complete source code however may be even Haskell 98
and can be compiled on a lot of compilers.
