Dealing with a group
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Consider a mutually-recursive group, binding 
a type constructor T and a class C.

Step 1:         getInitialKind
        Construct a KindEnv by binding T and C to a kind variable 

Step 2:         kcTyClDecl
        In that environment, do a kind check

Step 3: Zonk the kinds

Step 4:         buildTyConOrClass
        Construct an environment binding T to a TyCon and C to a Class.
        a) Their kinds comes from zonking the relevant kind variable
        b) Their arity (for synonyms) comes direct from the decl
        c) The funcional dependencies come from the decl
        d) The rest comes a knot-tied binding of T and C, returned from Step 4
        e) The variances of the tycons in the group is calculated from 
                the knot-tied stuff

Step 5:         tcTyClDecl1
        In this environment, walk over the decls, constructing the TyCons and Classes.
        This uses in a strict way items (a)-(c) above, which is why they must
        be constructed in Step 4. Feed the results back to Step 4.
        For this step, pass the is-recursive flag as the wimp-out flag
        to tcTyClDecl1.
        

Step 6:         Extend environment
        We extend the type environment with bindings not only for the TyCons and Classes,
        but also for their "implicit Ids" like data constructors and class selectors

Step 7:         checkValidTyCl
        For a recursive group only, check all the decls again, just
        to check all the side conditions on validity.  We could not
        do this before because we were in a mutually recursive knot.

Identification of recursive TyCons
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The knot-tying parameters: @rec_details_list@ is an alist mapping @Name@s to
@TyThing@s.

Identifying a TyCon as recursive serves two purposes

1.  Avoid infinite types.  Non-recursive newtypes are treated as
"transparent", like type synonyms, after the type checker.  If we did
this for all newtypes, we'd get infinite types.  So we figure out for
each newtype whether it is "recursive", and add a coercion if so.  In
effect, we are trying to "cut the loops" by identifying a loop-breaker.

2.  Avoid infinite unboxing.  This is nothing to do with newtypes.
Suppose we have
        data T = MkT Int T
        f (MkT x t) = f t
Well, this function diverges, but we don't want the strictness analyser
to diverge.  But the strictness analyser will diverge because it looks
deeper and deeper into the structure of T.   (I believe there are
examples where the function does something sane, and the strictness
analyser still diverges, but I can't see one now.)

Now, concerning (1), the FC2 branch currently adds a coercion for ALL
newtypes.  I did this as an experiment, to try to expose cases in which
the coercions got in the way of optimisations.  If it turns out that we
can indeed always use a coercion, then we don't risk recursive types,
and don't need to figure out what the loop breakers are.

For newtype *families* though, we will always have a coercion, so they
are always loop breakers!  So you can easily adjust the current
algorithm by simply treating all newtype families as loop breakers (and
indeed type families).  I think.

Family instances are somewhat of a hybrid.  They are processed together with
class instance heads, but can contain data constructors and hence they share a

We need to kind check all types in the mutually recursive group
before we know the kind of the type variables.  For example:

class C a where
   op :: D b => a -> b -> b

class D c where
   bop :: (Monad c) => ...

Here, the kind of the locally-polymorphic type variable "b"
depends on *all the uses of class D*.  For example, the use of
Monad c in bop's type signature means that D must have kind Type->Type.

However type synonyms work differently.  They can have kinds which don't
just involve (->) and *:
        type R = Int#           -- Kind #
        type S a = Array# a     -- Kind * -> #
        type T a b = (# a,b #)  -- Kind * -> * -> (# a,b #)
So we must infer their kinds from their right-hand sides *first* and then
use them, whereas for the mutually recursive data types D we bring into
scope kind bindings D -> k, where k is a kind variable, and do inference.

Type families
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This treatment of type synonyms only applies to Haskell 98-style synonyms.
General type functions can be recursive, and hence, appear in `alg_decls'.

The kind of a type family is solely determinded by its kind signature;
hence, only kind signatures participate in the construction of the initial
kind environment (as constructed by `getInitialKind').  In fact, we ignore
instances of families altogether in the following.  However, we need to
include the kinds of associated families into the construction of the
initial kind environment.  (This is handled by `allDecls').

\begin{code}
kcTyClDecls syn_decls alg_decls
  = do  {       -- First extend the kind env with each data type, class, and
                -- indexed type, mapping them to a type variable

                --      type Foo = Int#
                -- and a kind variable can't unify with UnboxedTypeKind

                -- returning kind-annotated decls; we don't kind-check
                -- instances of indexed types yet, but leave this to
                -- `tcInstDecls1'
        { kc_alg_decls <- mapM (wrapLocM kcTyClDecl)
