Add AnonArgFlag to FunTy
The big payload of this patch is:
Add an AnonArgFlag to the FunTy constructor
of Type, so that
(FunTy VisArg t1 t2) means (t1 -> t2)
(FunTy InvisArg t1 t2) means (t1 => t2)
The big payoff is that we have a simple, local test to make
when decomposing a type, leading to many fewer calls to
isPredTy. To me the code seems a lot tidier, and probably
more efficient (isPredTy has to take the kind of the type).
See Note [Function types] in TyCoRep.
There are lots of consequences
* I made FunTy into a record, so that it'll be easier
when we add a linearity field, something that is coming
down the road.
* Lots of code gets touched in a routine way, simply because it
pattern matches on FunTy.
* I wanted to make a pattern synonym for (FunTy2 arg res), which
picks out just the argument and result type from the record. But
alas the pattern-match overlap checker has a heart attack, and
either reports false positives, or takes too long. In the end
I gave up on pattern synonyms.
There's some commented-out code in TyCoRep that shows what I
wanted to do.
* Much more clarity about predicate types, constraint types
and (in particular) equality constraints in kinds. See TyCoRep
Note [Types for coercions, predicates, and evidence]
and Note [Constraints in kinds].
This made me realise that we need an AnonArgFlag on
AnonTCB in a TyConBinder, something that was really plain
wrong before. See TyCon Note [AnonTCB InivsArg]
* When building function types we must know whether we
need VisArg (mkVisFunTy) or InvisArg (mkInvisFunTy).
This turned out to be pretty easy in practice.
* Pretty-printing of types, esp in IfaceType, gets
tidier, because we were already recording the (->)
vs (=>) distinction in an ad-hoc way. Death to
IfaceFunTy.
* mkLamType needs to keep track of whether it is building
(t1 -> t2) or (t1 => t2). See Type
Note [mkLamType: dictionary arguments]
Other minor stuff
* Some tidy-up in validity checking involving constraints;
