Consider the following program:

TH.hs:

{-# LANGUAGE TemplateHaskell #-}
module TH where

import Language.Haskell.TH

spliceMe = [| (\xs -> tail xs ++ init xs) |]

Library.hs

{-# LANGUAGE TemplateHaskell #-}
module Library where

import TH

main = print ($(spliceMe) [1, 2])

Build it like so:

ghc --make -package-name foo-0.2.3 -hide-all-packages -fbuilding-cabal-package -no-user-package-conf -i -idist/build -i. -idist/build/autogen -Idist/build/a

And observe the wonderful error:
