Comment (by goldfire):

 It turns out that my proposal to change the treatment of regions is a bad
 idea. This is because `addTopDecls` is useful for generating new
 definitions that get used right away. If region D isn't available when
 type-checking region A, this isn't possible. Note that the fact that
 region D isn't available when ''renaming'' A is OK, as Template Haskell
 can use "exact" names.

 But this still could be cleaned up.
