 Once upon a time, the `extract` functions at the bottom of RnTypes were
 pure. Then, along came `-XTypeInType`, which needed to do a check in these
 functions for users mixing type variables with kind variables. Now,
 however, with `-XTypeInType` gone again, we no longer do this check. Thus,
 there is no reason to keep these functions monadic.
