Note] that explains why we need the dreaded KPush rule to be implemented
in `splitTyConApp`. Without KPush there, it's possible that we can have
two types t1 and t2 such that {{{t1 `eqType` t2}}} and yet they respond
differently to `splitTyConApp`: t1 = `(T |> co1) (a |> co2)` and t2 = `T
a`. Both t1 and t2 are well-kinded and can have the same kind. But one is
a `TyConApp` and one is an `AppTy`. (Actually, looking at this, perhaps
the magic will be in `mkAppTy`, not `splitTyConApp`.) But I have to look
closer.
This ticket serves as a reminder to do so.
