In fact I think template haskell itself is ok, but having unmatching versions of bytestring seemed to make the "derive" tool fail. > I > vaguely recall there was a bytestring issue that prevented the use of > template haskell.

Quasi-quotes are welcome now :) Defining events is probably the first thing to apply this to. >> Change the representation of buffers; >> Release and use the new version of vty; > > I presume this is referring a version of vty that uses > terminfo/termcap for all input classification? I'm not sure that all events can be found in termcap, sometimes I found that some things are better hardcoded.

I'd like the documentation to be build by the Hackage server, that would help enormously.
