It always seemed strange to me that the interfaces for `traceTc` and
`traceRn` were different.
{{{#!hs
traceTc :: String -> SDoc -> TcM ()
traceRn :: SDoc -> RnM ()
}}}
I personally prefer using the `traceTc` interface and have to look up each
time which function uses which interface. It seems beneficial but annoying
to make `traceRn` have the same interface to improve usability slightly.
Are there any objections if someone was to do this?
