 I tend to find some type signatures essential when reading Core. However,
 `Generic`-heavy code can produce extremely large signatures. I suspect one
 or both of the following additional options could help:

 1. An option to suppress non-top-level signatures, leaving top-level ones
 alone.

 2. An option to suppress phantom type arguments in signatures.
