Comment (by RyanGlScott):
OK. In that case, my tentative plan is to:
* Not print the coercion variables at all.
* Pretty-print the type variables by first converting them to
`IfaceForAllBinder`s (defaulting their visibilities to specified //à la//
`mkSpecForAllTys`) and then using a function like `pprIfaceForAll` to
pretty-print them with the explicit `forall` syntax.
Does that sound reasonable?
