Comment (by simonpj):
> Ah, it seems I have two make sure mkTypeableBinds is called before
simplifyTop in tcRnSrcDecls.
This is a stronger reason for deferring the desugaring of `Typeable`
evidence: such evidence necessarily refers to top-level Haskell binding
for the type representation of a type constructor defined in this module.
e.g. To solve `Typeable T` we need to refer to `T`'s type representation.
But we haven't generated those top-level bindings yet.
In general, such evidence-solving may take place before `simplifyTop` is
called; e.g. in `simplifyInfer`.
Given this, better to defer to the desugarer I think, to postpone any
evidence-solving that requires bindings that might be generated in this
very module.
