 Trying to help @mpickering with Phab:D1258, I looked at the code in
 `tcRnSrcDecls` and was surprised to see that exports are renamed after
 this function is complete. This didn't make any sense to me. And, indeed,
 it's wrong, witness by this example:

 {{{
 {-# OPTIONS_GHC -fwarn-missing-exported-sigs #-}

 module Bug (Data.List.intercalate, x) where

 import qualified Data.List

 intercalate = True

 x :: Bool
 x = intercalate
 }}}

 This produces

 {{{
 Bug.hs:7:1: Warning:
     Top-level binding with no type signature: intercalate :: Bool
 }}}

 This warning should not be emitted.

 I'm not all that concerned about this scenario biting in the wild, but it
 suggests that refactoring this code is a good thing, and not something
 Phab:D1258 should take pains to avoid.
