    Fix #13885 by freshening reified GADT constructors' universal tyvars · 79b259ae
    Ryan Scott authored
    Summary:
    When reifying GADTs with Template Haskell, the universally quantified
    type variables were being reused across both the data type head and the
    constructors' type signatures. This had the annoying effect of causing sets
    of differently scoped variables to have the same uniques. To avoid this, we
    now freshen the universal tyvars before reifying the constructors so as to
    ensure they have distinct uniques.
    
    Test Plan: make test TEST=T13885
