Comment (by nomeata):

 Maybe it would work better if a symbol could have an text field attatched
 for “arbitrary text to be displayed on `:info`”, and `:info` would show
 that. It could simply say

 > Coercible is a special constraint with custom solving rules. Please see
 section ... of the user’s guide for details.

 Note that we stopped calling `Coercible` a class; as it is not a class.
