I added some new language features to Template Haskell in the HEAD
repository:
* type families, including associated types,
* kind annotations,
* INLINE and SPECIALISE pragmas, and
* bang patterns.
Especially, type families were repeatedly requested <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/1673
>. Please give these extensions a spin and let me know of any
problems that you may encounter.
Unfortunately, I had to change the Language.Haskell.TH API in a way
that is not backwards compatible due to the necessary extensions in
the Language.Haskell.TH.Syntax. For the moment, this will only affect
users of the development version, but I expect these changes to be in
the next stable release, 6.12, too.
Happy Hacking!
Manuel
