It's knot-tied back to Var.lhs. There is no reason in principle
why Var.lhs shouldn't actually have the definition, but it "belongs" here.
+Note [Signature skolems]
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Consider this
+
+ x :: [a]
+ y :: b
+ (x,y,z) = ([y,z], z, head x)
+
+Here, x and y have type sigs, which go into the environment. We used to
+instantiate their types with skolem constants, and push those types into
+the RHS, so we'd typecheck the RHS with type
+ ( [a*], b*, c )
+where a*, b* are skolem constants, and c is an ordinary meta type varible.
+
+The trouble is that the occurrences of z in the RHS force a* and b* to
+be the *same*, so we can't make them into skolem constants that don't unify
+with each other. Alas.
+
+On the other hand, we *must* use skolems for signature type variables,
+becuase GADT type refinement refines skolems only.
+
+One solution woudl be insist that in the above defn the programmer uses
+the same type variable in both type signatures. But that takes explanation.
+
+The alternative (currently implemented) is to have a special kind of skolem
+constant, SigSkokTv, which can unify with other SigSkolTvs.
