Comment (by goldfire):
I think we can have our cake and eat it too. Just use a new module name
and then we can have `Data.Typeable.TypeRep` be different from
`Data.Reflection.TypeRep`. (Of course, we can keep just one `Typeable`,
happily.)
I vastly prefer `TypeRep` and `TypeRepX` over `TTypeRep` and `TypeRep`.
But I have no great reason for doing so.
