+the NewTyCon for T will contain nt_co = CoT where CoT t : T t :=: t ->
+t. This TyCon is a CoercionTyCon, so it does not have a kind on its
+own; it basically has its own typing rule for the fully-applied
+version. If the newtype T has k type variables then CoT has arity at
+most k. In the case that the right hand side is a type application
+ending with the same type variables as the left hand side, we
+"eta-contract" the coercion. So if we had
