The Q Programming Language can do symbolic manipulation -- Haskell?

The Q Programming Language can do the following:

sqr X = X*X

==>sqr 5
25

==>sqr (X+1)
(X+1)*(X+1)

Can Haskell do symbolic manipulation?


Well, there's always the sledgehammer (http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ docs/latest/html/users_guide/template-haskell.html)


Or are term-rewriting and the lambda calculus sufficiently far enough
apart concepts?
