Comment (by alanz):

 The current AST does not allow faithful reproduction of a context with
 extra parens around it.  So

 {{{#!hs
 foo :: (Show a) => a -> String
 }}}
 and
 {{{#!hs
 foo :: ((Show a)) => a -> String
 }}}

 produce the same AST fragment.  `ghc-exactprint` works around this by
 using the API Annotations.
