    Fix flaggery for RULES (cf Trac #2497) · 24b1e136
    Simon Peyton Jones authored
    This patch executes the plan described in the discussion in Trac #2497.
    Specficially:
    
        * Inside a RULE, switch on the forall-as-keyword in the lexer,
          unconditionally. (Actually this is done by an earlier patch.)
    
        * Merge the -XScopedTypeVariables and -XPatternSignatures flags,
          and deprecate the latter. Distinguishing them isn't senseless,
          but it's jolly confusing.
    
        * Inside a RULE, switch on -XScopedTypeVariables unconditionally. 
    
        * Change -frewrite-rules to -fenable-rewrite-rules; deprecate the former. 
          Internally the DynFlag is now Opt_EnableRewriteRules.
    
    There's a test in typecheck/should_compile/T2497.hs
