 My work thus far on Phab:D4085 has involved `TypeRep`s with cyclical
 structure. That bit me in `break011` and `break024` because `:force`
 doesn't work with cyclical structures. This would also have caused trouble
 for storing `TypeRep`s in compact regions. If we eventually make `:force`
 work with cyclical structures (see #14400), then cyclical `TypeRep`s won't
 break the test suite but might break user code using compact regions. So
 let's test for that.
