-------------------------------------+-------------------------------------
Some of the kind-checking and type-checking modules have become unruly.
Simon and I propose the new structure:
- KcTyClsDecls will handle kind-checking and generalization of datatype
declarations. (That is, `kcTyClGroup` and children, including related
functions in TcHsType)
- TcInstBinds will handle `tcInstDecls2` and children
- TcTyConValidity will handle `checkValidTyCon` and children
- Fold the rest of TcInstDecls (essentially, `tcInstDecls1`) into what's
left of TcTyClsDecls. TcInstDecls is removed.
