Documentation fix for TH example: msg#00043lang.haskell.glasgow.bugs
Hi, The GHC 6.2 User's Guide has some misleading information w.r.t. template haskell. It still uses Expr instead of ExpQ. It refers to Tim Sheard's notes, but doesn't have the link http://research.microsoft.com/~simonpj/tmp/notes2.ps It should also warn that not all of the features discussed in the above notes are implemented. In particular, the way to get TH is still to import Language.Haskell.THSyntax, not Language.Haskell.TH. The example doesn't compile under 6.2. The attachment corrects this. A note that TH is rapidly evolving and that the API is likely to change incompatibly between compiler releases might not be out of place either. (I know that such warnings are present in the literature and in some places on the mailing list, but language users who are not part of the FP community look to the documentation first.)
