I’m adding the quickcheck developers to the CC (I hope their mailing list accepts non-subscriber posts). Here is the issue: Quickcheck started to use TH which is not available on all architectures, which causes problems. Do you really _need_ TH or could you, using some copy’n’pasting, achieve the same without? And if you really need it, could you imagine making it optional, via a flag?
