#3319: Template Haskell generates invalid code for import foreign address
declaration

Os: Windows | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple
--------------------+-------------------------------------------------------
For example, splicing {{{ForeignD (ImportF CCall Unsafe "&" (mkName "foo")
(AppT (ConT ''Ptr) (ConT ''())))}}} GHC generates code equivalent to
{{{foreign import ccall unsafe "foo" foo :: Ptr ()}}} but not {{{foreign
import ccall unsafe "&" foo :: Ptr ()}}}.
-ddump-splices shows something like {{{foreign import ccall unsafe "static
& &foo" foo :: Ptr ()}}}. GHC can splice this (and produce bogus code) but
can not compile this code literally, generating invalid assembler name
{{{_&foo}}} for {{{foo}}}.
