Comment(by simonpj):
I see your point about double escaping. Getting rid of the escape
mechanism altogether is fine with me -- it's easy to implement!
But can you outline how Kathleen's PadsHaskell will work? She has
quasiquotes that involve fragments of Haskell:
{{{
[pads| blah blah { f x = "wubble" } blah blah |]
}}}
where the "`blah blah`" is in the PADS DSL, but then there's a bit of
proper Haskell inside. Now that proper Haskell is parsed with, well, a
Haskell parser. So if she want the sequence "|]" in that literal string,
what should she do?
