New description:

 The ticket is a placeholder to remind me to work through the test cases
 for impredicative and higher rank types in the new typechecker.  For now,
 I'm marking many of them as `expect_broken` on this ticket, although I
 think many of them really should fail.
  * tc150
  * tc194
  * tcfail198
  * tcfail174
  * tcfail165
  * tcfail145
  * tcfail104
  * tc211
  * Many tests in `boxy/` (see also #1330 for Church2)
