-------------------------------------+-------------------------------------
We have a special way of encoding tuple-related names in the interface
file symbol table. See `Note [Symbol table representation of names]`.
However, it was broken for constraint tuples by
ffc21506894c7887d3620423aaf86bc6113a1071. The problem is very similar to
the one which prevented us from encoding tuple type representations in
#12357 (see ticket:12357#comment:31). By unwiring constraint tuples it
becomes harder to identify them for special handling during serialization.
