DsMeta does not attempt to handle quasiquoted Char# or Addr# values, which causes expressions like `$([| 'a'# |])` or `$([| "abc"# |])` to fail with an `Exotic literal not (yet) handled by Template Haskell` error. To fix this, the API of `template-haskell` had to be changed so that `Lit` now has an extra constructor `CharPrimL` (a `StringPrimL` constructor already existed, but it wasn't used). In addition, `DsMeta` has to manipulate `CoreExpr`s directly that involve `Word8`s. In order to do this, `Word8` had to be added as a wired-in type to `TysWiredIn`. Actually converting from `HsCharPrim` and `HsStringPrim` to `CharPrimL` and `StringPrimL`, respectively, is pretty straightforward after that, since both `HsCharPrim` and `CharPrimL` use `Char` internally, and `HsStringPrim` uses a `ByteString` internally, which can easily be converted to `[Word8]`, which is what `StringPrimL` uses.
