| Also (sorry for the triple-post!) I noticed that in the TH
| documentation, it says:
| 
|     Type splices are not implemented, and neither are pattern splices
| 
| This means, while we could write a preprocessor that would give us, e.g.:
| 
|     x :: Set Int
|     x = {1,2,3,4}
| 
| We cannot splice in the right places to allow:
| 
|     x :: {Int}
|     x = {1,2,3,4}
| 
|     isSetEmpty :: {a} → Bool
|     isSetEmpty {} = True
|     isSetEmpty _ = False
