Comment (by RyanGlScott):
That sounds good to me. Two remaining questions:
* How should we print `InvisATM`-tagged types when `-fprint-explicit-
kinds` is enabled? Using the above example, should it be `f Bool 'True` or
`f @Bool 'True`? Should `-dsuppress-type-applications` enter the picture
somewhere?
* Would we need to pretty-print `VisDepATM`-tagged types differently from
`VanillaATM`-tagged ones? That is, why should we distinguish `VisDepATM`
at all?
