Comment (by Joachim Breitner <mail@…>):

 In [changeset:"a50244c6a87176a4df8d41e6a1a3f102ba129032/ghc" a50244c/ghc]:
 {{{

 Rename SigTv to TyVarTv (#15480)

 because since #15050, these are no longer used in pattern SIGnatures,
 but still in other places where meta-variables should only be unified
 with TYpe VARiables.

 I also found mentions of `SigTv` in parts of the renamer and desugarer
 that do not seem to directly relate to `SigTv` as used in the type
 checker, but rather to uses of `forall a.` in type signatures. I renamed
 these to `ScopedTv`.
