-- | Template Haskell has a class 'Lift' that allows you to promote values
-- from Haskell-land into the land of metaprogramming - 'Q'.
--

-- class 'Lift' a where
-- 'lift' :: a -> 'Q' 'Exp'
--
-- 'liftTyped' :: a -> 'Q' ('TExp' a)
-- @
--
-- However, there wasn't a way to promote a *type* into a @'Q' 'Type'@.
--
-- This library provides exactly that function. It requires a 'Typeable'
-- constraint, but this is automatically satisfied by GHC.
