Comment (by bgamari):
I quickly looked at this; unfortunately more `SOURCE` imports of `TyCoRep`
is almost inevitable under this change. Currently `IfaceType` must import
`TyCoRep` due to the conversion functions. Now we'll also need the inverse
import in order to implement the `Type` pretty-printer in terms of the
`IfaceType` printer.
I suppose we could move the `IfaceType` conversion functions to `Type`,
although this seems like it would be an odd break with how the other iface
constructs are handled.
