4429	Ability to specify the namespace in mkName	reinerp	reinerp	"Given

{{{
data Foo
data Bar = Foo
}}}

If we do {{{reify (mkName ""Foo"")}}} then we get the information about ""{{{Foo}}} the type"", and not about ""{{{Foo}}} the constructor"". 

(This is problematic, say, for a quasiquoter
{{{ 
[qq| ... Foo ... |] 
}}}

because the quasiquoter is forced to use {{{mkName ""Foo""}}} as the {{{Name}}} for reify -- the forms {{{'Foo}}} and {{{''Foo}}} are unavailable to it.)

I would like a way around this problem. It seems like it would be enough to communicate the namespace to {{{mkName}}}, so that the ambiguity no longer exists."	feature request	new	low	7.6.2	Template Haskell	6.12.3			haskell@… andy.adamsmoran@…	Unknown/Multiple	Unknown/Multiple	None/Unknown	Unknown
