Comment(by Ashley Yakeley):
What bad things would happen if quotations were not type-checked?
I found the early type-checking a bit surprising: my first expectation was
that a quotation is just a convenient alternative to writing out all those
Language.TH constructors. It's certainly possible to construct badly-typed
programs using the latter.
