It's called Template Haskell.

http://www.haskell.org/th/

"Template Haskell is an extension to Haskell 98 that allows you to do
type-safe compile-time meta-programming, with Haskell both as the
manipulating language and the language being manipulated."

There is an experimental implementation in new versions of GHC.

Follow-ups set to comp.lang.haskell in case anyone wants to discuss it. I
claim no understanding of it yet. Better figure out ordinary Haskell
first...
