Comment (by kosmikus):
If the idea is to avoid confusion, and the `ExplicitForall` flag is
currently implied by others, then shouldn't `RankNTypes`,
`LiberalTypeSynonyms`, and `ExistentialQuantification` all imply
`ScopedTypeVariables` instead? But that's somewhat non-obvious ...
I personally think that while the current situation is unfortunate, the
proposed solution isn't ideal either. I'd keep everything as it currently
is, until we get to a point where we can agree that `ScopedTypeVariables`
should be enabled by default.
