+EVERY data constructor (incl for newtypes) has the former two (the

+wrapper (see Note [The need for a wrapper]).

+Each of these three has a distinct Unique. The "data con itself" name
appears in the output of the renamer, and names the Haskell-source
data constructor. The type checker translates it into either the wrapper Id
(if it exists) or worker Id (otherwise).
nothing for the wrapper to do. That is, if its defn would be
$wC = C
+Note [The need for a wrapper]
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Why might the wrapper have anything to do? Two reasons:
* Unboxing strict fields (with -funbox-strict-fields)
The third argument is a coerion
[a] :: [a]:=:[a]
+INVARIANT: the dictionary constructor for a class
+ never has a wrapper.
A note about the stupid context

- -- forall a x y. (a:=:(x,y), Ord x) => x -> y -> MkT a
+ -- forall a x y. (a:=:(x,y), x~y, Ord x) =>
+ -- x -> y -> T a
-- (this is *not* of the constructor wrapper Id:
-- see Note [Data con representation] below)
-- Notice that the existential type parameters come *second*.
-- Reason: in a case expression we may find:
- -- case (e :: T t) of { MkT b (d:Ord b) (x:t) (xs:[b]) -> ... }
+ -- case (e :: T t) of
+ -- MkT x y co1 co2 (d:Ord x) (v:r) (w:F s) -> ...
-- It's convenient to apply the rep-type of MkT to 't', to get
- -- forall b. Ord b => ...
+ -- forall x y. (t:=:(x,y), x~y, Ord x) => x -> y -> T t
-- and use that to check the pattern. Mind you, this is really only

+ -- The curried worker function that corresponds to the constructor:
-- It doesn't have an unfolding; the code generator saturates these Ids
-- and allocates a real constructor when it finds one.

-- The 'Nothing' case of DCIds is important
-- Not only is this efficient,
-- but it also ensures that the wrapper is replaced
- -- by the worker (becuase it *is* the worker)
+ -- by the worker (because it *is* the worker)
