    Description : Quasi-quoting support for Template Haskell

    Template Haskell supports quasiquoting, which permits users to construct
    program fragments by directly writing concrete syntax.  A quasiquoter is
    essentially a function with takes a string to a Template Haskell AST.
    This module defines the 'QuasiQuoter' datatype, which specifies a
    quasiquoter @q@ which can be invoked using the syntax
    @[q| ... string to parse ... |]@ when the @QuasiQuotes@ language
    extension is enabled, and some utility functions for manipulating
    quasiquoters.  Nota bene: this package does not define any parsers,
    that is up to you.

    -- convenience, a 'QuasiQuoter' actually defines multiple quasiquoters
    -- to be used in different splice contexts; if you are only interested
    -- in defining a quasiquoter to be used for expressions, you would
    -- define a 'QuasiQuoter' with only 'quoteExp', and leave the other
    -- fields stubbed out with errors.
