commit 40cbab9afe52fbc780310e880912b56370065a62

    Fix another obscure pattern-synonym crash
    
    This one, discovered by Iceland Jack (Trac #14507), shows
    that a pattern-bound coercion can show up in the argument
    type(s) of the matcher of a pattern synonym.
    
    The error message isn't great, but at least we now rightly
    reject the program.

+Trac #14507 showed an example where the inferred type of the matcher
+for the pattern synonym was somethign like
+   $mSO :: forall (r :: TYPE rep) kk (a :: k).
+           TypeRep k a
+           -> ((Bool ~ k) => TypeRep Bool (a |> co_a2sv) -> r)
+           -> (Void# -> r)
+           -> r
+
+What is that co_a2sv :: Bool ~# *??  It was bound (via a superclass
+selection) by the pattern being matched; and indeed it is implicit in
+the context (Bool ~ k).  You could imagine trying to extract it like
+this:
+   $mSO :: forall (r :: TYPE rep) kk (a :: k).
+           TypeRep k a
+           -> ( co :: ((Bool :: *) ~ (k :: *)) =>
+                  let co_a2sv = sc_sel co
+                  in TypeRep Bool (a |> co_a2sv) -> r)
+           -> (Void# -> r)
+           -> r
+
+But we simply don't allow that in types.  Maybe one day but not now.
+
+How to detect this situation?  We just look for free coercion variables
+in the types of any of the arguments to the matcher.  The error message
+is not very helpful, but at least we don't get a Lint error.
