Oh, thank you for clarifying. I'd totally missed that.

No, there's no problem at all with pattern quotes. (I've just done the work and 
it took 10 mins.) I'm already messing with the TH stuff in pursuit of the 
quasi-quote changes I advertised, so I'll commit it at the same time.  That is

        TH pattern quotes will work
        but TH pattern splices will continue not to exist

Thanks for sorting out my misunderstanding.

Simon
