 The tcIface module exports:

 {{{
     tcExtCoreBindings :: [IfaceBinding] -> IfL CoreProgram
 }}}

 which is useful for typechecking whole programs in Iface Core. It
 unfortunately does not export:

 {{{
     tcIfaceExpr :: IfaceExpr -> IfL CoreExpr
 }}}

 This function would be useful to the HERMIT plugin, where we want to parse
 and typecheck Core fragments by way of Iface Core.
