Comment (by simonpj):
Replying to [comment:13 bgamari]:
> The other issue is that rendering tuples, sums, and other built-in
syntax things becomes a bit tricker. While previously we had access to the
`TyCon` and could therefore simply use `isTupleTyCon_maybe` to identify
tuples, now we only have the `IfaceTyCon` which can't easily be identified
since it only gives us a `Name`.
Use `IfaceTyConInfo`: it's precisely there to guide pretty-printing.
