    Reorganise TcSimplify (again); FIX Trac #1919 · 06f6f35d
    Simon Peyton Jones authored
    This was a bit tricky.  We had a "given" dict like (d7:Eq a); then it got
    supplied to reduceImplication, which did some zonking, and emerged with
    a "needed given" (d7:Eq Int). That got everything confused.
    
    I found a way to simplify matters significantly.  Now reduceContext
    	- first deals with methods/literals/dictionaries
    	- then deals with implications
    Separating things in this way not only made the bug go away, but
    eliminated the need for the recently-added "needed-givens" results returned
    by checkLoop.  Hurrah.
    
    It's still a swamp.  But it's a bit better.
