[core libraries] tyConHash -- quick fix?

Wed Mar 11 14:38:27 UTC 2015

Yes, but the original 'tyConHash' was not exported, so no one will be annoyed if we change its name.  We only started exporting it recently.  Hence my suggestion to change its name to tyConFingerprint.

|  Here's a bit more background information:
|  
|  Afaics, tyConHash was introduced in
|  
|  
|  http://git.haskell.org/ghc.git/commitdiff/e0b63e02b78d0bd31a073738b1154
|  a93d22dccca
|  
|  and it was recently re-exported via
|  
|  
|  http://git.haskell.org/ghc.git/commitdiff/56e0ac98c3a439b8757a2e886db25
|  9270bdc85f0
|  
|  which followed the same questionable naming scheme for the really new
|  'typeRepHash' field accessor
