Comment:
Yes, there are many ways in which Template Haskell lags the various GHC
extensions, and view patterns are only one of them. Furthermore, view
patterns are a rather new and experimental feature, so it seems premature
to "bless" them in TH.
In any case, it's probably fairly easy to add a guard instead, since you
are generating the program with a TH program.
