Haskell already has a couple of abstraction tools for dealing with code.

Woah fellas, I wasn't trying to start a flame war, I was merely commenting that those who have not used Lisp don't really understand the power that macros can have in a language (such as Lisp) that supports them, and where code and data can be used interchangeably.  And I've never used TH so I can't comment on that.  Don't worry, I'm on your side :)
