An untyped bracket `HsQuote p` can never be constructed with `p ~ GhcTc`. This is because we don't typecheck `HsQuote` at all. That's OK, because we also never use `HsQuote GhcTc`. To enforce this at the type level we make `HsQuote GhcTc` isomorphic to `NoExtField` and impossible to construct otherwise, by using TTG field extensions to make all constructors, except for `XQuote` (which takes `NoExtField`), unconstructable, with `DataConCantHappen` This is explained more in detail in Note [The life cycle of a TH quotation] Related discussion: !4782
