Comment (by Richard Eisenberg <eir@…>):

 In [changeset:"35e937973f61a7e5534ecd0b1c67111cd82d4238/ghc"
 35e93797/ghc]:

 Track specified/invisible more carefully.

 In particular, this allows correct tracking of specified/invisible
 for variables in Haskell98 data constructors and in pattern synonyms.
 GADT-syntax constructors are harder, and are left until #11721.

 This was all inspired by Simon's comments to my fix for #11512,
 which this subsumes.

 Test case: ghci/scripts/TypeAppData

 [skip ci]  (The test case fails because of an unrelated problem
 fixed in the next commit.)
