Make pattern synonyms work with Template Haskell
Template Haskell has no support for pattern synonyms. This should be added. Specifically: - Create syntax in `Language.Haskell.TH.Syntax` and corresponding functions in `Language.Haskell.TH.Lib` - Support in !DsMeta for desugaring pattern synonym quotations. See `rep_bind`. - Support in Convert for splicing in pattern synonyms. - Support in !TcSplice for reifying pattern synonyms. See `reifyThing`. <details><summary>Trac metadata</summary> | Trac field | Value | | ---------------------- | ---------------- | | Version | 7.8.1-rc1 | | Type | FeatureRequest | | TypeOfFailure | OtherFailure | | Priority | normal | | Resolution | Unresolved | | Component | Template Haskell | | Test case | | | Differential revisions | | | BlockedBy | | | Related | | | Blocking | | | CC | | | Operating system | | | Architecture | | </details> <!-- {"blocked_by":[],"summary":"Make pattern synonyms work with Template Haskell","status":"New","operating_system":"","component":"Template Haskell","related":[],"milestone":"","resolution":"Unresolved","owner":{"tag":"Unowned"},"version":"7.8.1-rc1","keywords":[],"differentials":[],"test_case":"","architecture":"","cc":[""],"type":"FeatureRequest","description":"Template Haskell has no support for pattern synonyms.
