When parsing
{{{#!hs
{-# LANGUAGE ScopedTypeVariables #-}
extremumNewton :: forall tag. forall tag1.
tag -> tag1 -> Int
extremumNewton = undefined
}}}
The parser attaches an `AnnForall` to the second `forall`, which appears
as a nested `HsForAllTy`.
Somewhere this nesting is flattened, and the tyvarbndrs are collapsed into
a single `HsForAllTy`. In this process the second `AnnForAll` loses its
anchor in the AST.
