-- Nor should a lazy pattern bind any existential type variables

+-- Note [Hopping the LIE in lazy patterns]
+-- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+-- In a lazy pattern, we must *not* discharge constraints from the RHS
+-- from dictionaries bound in the pattern. E.g.
+-- f ~(C x) = 3
+-- We can't discharge the Num constraint from dictionaries bound by
+-- the pattern C!
+--
+-- So we have to make the constraints from thing_inside "hop around"
+-- the pattern. Hence the getLLE and extendLIEs later.
