Changes (by simonpj):
* difficulty: => Unknown
Comment:
Actually neither TH nor `PolyKinds` steal 'x or 'T:
* In a character literal `'x'`, the character literal wins both times.
* If you have just `'x` all by itself, it's rejected unless you have
`PolyKinds` or `TemplateHaskell`.
So the meaning never changes; nothing is stolen. So I will
* Remove the `'varid` item from
http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/7.4.1/html/users_guide/syntax-extns.html
#syntax-stolen algother.
* I'll add the clarification you suggest to the TH section.
