	Major increment for Template Haskell
	------------------------------------

1.  New abstract data type "Name" which appears where String used to be.
    E.g. 	data Exp = VarE Name | ...

2.  New syntax 'x and ''T, for quoting Names.  It's rather like [| x |]
    and [t| T |] respectively, except that

	a) it's non-monadic:  'x :: Name
	b) you get a Name not an Exp or Type

3.  reify is an ordinary function
	reify :: Name -> Q Info
    New data type Info which tells what TH knows about Name

4.  Local variables work properly.  So this works now (crashed before):
	f x = $( [| x |] )

5.  THSyntax is split up into three modules:

  Language.Haskell.TH		TH "clients" import this

  Language.Haskell.TH.THSyntax	data type declarations and internal stuff

  Language.Haskell.TH.THLib	Support library code (all re-exported
				by TH), including smart constructors and
				pretty printer

6.  Error reporting and recovery are in (not yet well tested)

	report :: Bool {- True <=> fatal -} -> String -> Q ()
	recover :: Q a -> Q a -> Q a

7.  Can find current module

	currentModule :: Q String


Much other cleaning up, needless to say.

Update tests for renamings.

The Great Renaming. I hope I've kept everything in sync - and all the tests
pass. Now datatypes follow the

data Foo = <a kind of Foo>Foo
         | <another kind of Foo>Foo

convention and the smart constructors can be uniformly created by
lowercasing the first letter of the constructor.

Update testsuite in line with recent TH changes.

Added a couple of cases to TH_repE1 and added a new TH_repE2 that also
splices things back in and checks they can be printed correctly.

Renaming function for the reify/splice test needs to be in a separate module
