Currently, the primitive `(~#)`, `(~R#)`, and `(~P#)` type constructors are wired in to be exported from `GHC.Prim`. This has some unfortunate consequences, however. It turns out that `(~#)` is actually a legal infix identifier, so users can make use of unboxed equalities in strange ways in user code (see #15209). The other two, `(~R#)` and `(~P#)`, can't be used in source code, but they can be observed with GHCi's `:browse` command, which is somewhat unnerving. The fix for both of these problems is simple: just don't wire them to be exported from `GHC.Prim`.
