-- | TyCons represent type constructors. Type constructors are introduced by things such as:
--
-- 1) Data declarations: @data Foo = ...@ creates the @Foo@ type constructor of kind @*@
--
-- 2) Type synonyms: @type Foo = ...@ creates the @Foo@ type constructor
--
-- 3) Newtypes: @newtype Foo a = MkFoo ...@ creates the @Foo@ type constructor of kind @* -> *@
--
-- 4) Class declarations: @class Foo where@ creates the @Foo@ type constructor of kind @*@
--
-- 5) Type coercions! This is because we represent a coercion from @t1@ to @t2@ as a 'Type', where
--    that type has kind @t1 ~ t2@. See "Coercion" for more on this
--

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The NewTyCon field nt_co is a a TyCon (a coercion constructor in fact)
which is used for coercing from the representation type of the
newtype, to the newtype itself. For example,

   newtype T a = MkT (a -> a)

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

   newtype S a = MkT [a]

then we would generate the arity 0 coercion CoS : S ~ [].  The
primary reason we do this is to make newtype deriving cleaner.

In the paper we'd write
        axiom CoT : (forall t. T t) ~ (forall t. [t])
and then when we used CoT at a particular type, s, we'd say
        CoT @ s
which encodes as (TyConApp instCoercionTyCon [TyConApp CoT [], s])

But in GHC we instead make CoT into a new piece of type syntax, CoercionTyCon,
(like instCoercionTyCon, symCoercionTyCon etc), which must always
be saturated, but which encodes as
        TyConApp CoT [s]
In the vocabulary of the paper it's as if we had axiom declarations
like
        axiom CoT t :  T t ~ [t]

Note [Newtype eta]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Consider
        newtype Parser m a = MkParser (Foogle m a)
Are these two types equal (to Core)?
        Monad (Parser m) 
        Monad (Foogle m)
Well, yes.  But to see that easily we eta-reduce the RHS type of
Parser, in this case to ([], Froogle), so that even unsaturated applications
of Parser will work right.  This eta reduction is done when the type 
constructor is built, and cached in NewTyCon.  The cached field is
only used in coreExpandTyCon_maybe.
 
Here's an example that I think showed up in practice
Source code:
        newtype T a = MkT [a]
        newtype Foo m = MkFoo (forall a. m a -> Int)

        w1 :: Foo []
        w1 = ...
        
        w2 :: Foo T
        w2 = MkFoo (\(MkT x) -> case w1 of MkFoo f -> f x)

After desugaring, and discarding the data constructors for the newtypes,
we get:
        w2 :: Foo T
        w2 = w1
And now Lint complains unless Foo T == Foo [], and that requires T==[]

This point carries over to the newtype coercion, because we need to
say 
        w2 = w1 `cast` Foo CoT

so the coercion tycon CoT must have 
        kind:    T ~ []
 and    arity:   0


Note [Indexed data types] (aka data type families)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   See also Note [Wrappers for data instance tycons] in MkId.lhs

Consider
        data family T a

        data instance T (b,c) where
          T1 :: b -> c -> T (b,c)

Then
  * T is the "family TyCon"

  * We make "representation TyCon" :R1T, thus:
        data :R1T b c where
          T1 :: forall b c. b -> c -> :R1T b c

  * It has a top-level coercion connecting it to the family TyCon

        axiom :Co:R1T b c : T (b,c) ~ :R1T b c

  * The data contructor T1 has a wrapper (which is what the source-level
    "T1" invokes):

        $WT1 :: forall b c. b -> c -> T (b,c)
        $WT1 b c (x::b) (y::c) = T1 b c x y `cast` sym (:Co:R1T b c)

  * The representation TyCon :R1T has an AlgTyConParent of

        FamilyTyCon T [(b,c)] :Co:R1T

A PrimRep is somewhat similar to a CgRep (see codeGen/SMRep) and a
MachRep (see cmm/CmmExpr), although each of these types has a distinct
and clearly defined purpose:

  - A PrimRep is a CgRep + information about signedness + information
    about primitive pointers (AddrRep).  Signedness and primitive
    pointers are required when passing a primitive type to a foreign
    function, but aren't needed for call/return conventions of Haskell
    functions.

  - A MachRep is a basic machine type (non-void, doesn't contain
    information on pointerhood or signedness, but contains some
    reps that don't have corresponding Haskell types).

\begin{code}
-- | A 'PrimRep' is an abstraction of a type.  It contains information that
-- the code generator needs in order to pass arguments, return results,
-- and store values of this type.
data PrimRep
  = VoidRep

  | IntRep              -- ^ Signed, word-sized value
  | WordRep             -- ^ Unsigned, word-sized value
  | Int64Rep            -- ^ Signed, 64 bit value (with 32-bit words only)
  | Word64Rep           -- ^ Unsigned, 64 bit value (with 32-bit words only)
  | AddrRep             -- ^ A pointer, but /not/ to a Haskell value (use 'PtrRep')
  | FloatRep
  | DoubleRep
  deriving( Eq, Show )

  ppr r = text (show r)

Note: the TyCon constructors all take a Kind as one argument, even though
they could, in principle, work out their Kind from their other arguments.
But to do so they need functions from Types, and that makes a nasty
module mutual-recursion.  And they aren't called from many places.
So we compromise, and move their Kind calculation to the call site.
