Comment (by isaacdupree):
We could change ExplicitForAll to be a subset of ScopedTypeVariables.
Make "forall" always introduce type variable scopes, but error if any type
variable is actually used in a scoped way without ScopedTypeVariables.
(I am not volunteering to implement that change - I don't feel strongly
enough about this)
