Comment (by bgamari):

 I guess the question here is do we want unboxed tuples to be
 representable? It looks like it would be easy to make them representable:
 just add a field carrying the representation name to `UnboxedAlgTyCon`
 just as we do with `AlgTyCon`.

 If we'd prefer to keep them unrepresentable then I suppose we should make
 the solver throw a more polite error message.
