Comment(by Oblosys):
Ah, so it's a feature! :-) Perhaps this could be briefly mentioned in the
documentation? (right after the quieter and less intimidating example). I
thought it was a bug because I couldn't find it there and the error
message didn't mention Template Haskell.
It's just a small issue, but since I use TH to derive type classes for
data declarations, the most appropriate place for the splice would be
close to the data declaration. (Each data type is also accompanied by a
function declaration, which causes the scoping issues.)
I will await the changes from the new directions post!
