#1480: Template Haskell should allow reification of modules

-------------------------------+--------------------------------------------
It should be possible to reify a module from a splice. If the module is
thisModule then it would only tell you about things above the current
splice.
This comes up quite often; for example:
In http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/haskell-cafe/2007-June/027205.html
Brent Yorgey wants to get a list of top-level functions names prop_* in
order to build a runQuickCheckProps function.
In http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/haskell-cafe/2007-June/026493.html
Neil Mitchell wants to get all the data/newtype declarations in a module
in order to declare Typeable and Data instances for them.
