Comment (by simonpj):

 Isn't this incompatibility thing an implementation consideration?  If so,
 we should not burden the user with it.

 By all means have a flag to augment :i with that info.  We have a variety
 already: the blunderbus `-dppr-debug`, but also the more selective
 `-fprint-explicit-kinds` etc.
