This allows the splices provided by `gitrev` to be included in typed TH quotes. Moreover, they greatly clarify the interfaces. This change should of course be accompanied by a major version bump.

Sorry for the delay on this; a mail filter gone awry hid messages about this repo from me for months. Are the typed TH splices documented anywhere? This is the first I've seen them, and only the syntax appears to be described in the user's guide. Will this break compatibility with older GHCs? |

Sadly the documentation for typed quotes is a bit lacking. Typed quotes were introduced around 2013. I believe the first GHC release which it appeared in was 7.8.1. So I suppose the answer is yes, this will have implications on older GHCs. |

Sadly there is relatively little discussion in the users guide.
Moreover, it all seems to be hidden away in
https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/master/users-guide//glasgow_exts.html#th-syntax

Typed splices were introduced in GHC 7.8. In general I quite like typed
splices as they eliminate much of the fragility associated with TH, but
I can understand if this is too much breakage to endure for a relatively
modest improvement in safety.
