+Note [Zonking to Skolem]
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+We used to zonk quantified type variables to regular TyVars. However, this
+leads to problems. Consider this program from the regression test suite:
+
+ eval :: Int -> String -> String -> String
+ eval 0 root actual = evalRHS 0 root actual
+
+ evalRHS :: Int -> a
+ evalRHS 0 root actual = eval 0 root actual
+
+It leads to the deferral of an equality
+
+ (String -> String -> String) ~ a
+
+which is propagated up to the toplevel (see TcSimplify.tcSimplifyInferCheck).
+In the meantime `a' is zonked and quantified to form `evalRHS's signature.
+This has the *side effect* of also zonking the `a' in the deferred equality
+(which at this point is being handed around wrapped in an implication
+constraint).
+
+Finally, the equality (with the zonked `a') will be handed back to the
+simplifier by TcRnDriver.tcRnSrcDecls calling TcSimplify.tcSimplifyTop.
+If we zonk `a' with a regular type variable, we will have this regular type
+variable now floating around in the simplifier, which in many places assumes to
+only see proper TcTyVars.
+
+We can avoid this problem by zonking with a skolem. The skolem is rigid
+(which we requirefor a quantified variable), but is still a TcTyVar that the
+simplifier knows how to deal with.
