    * Make it so that recursive newtype declarations don't send
      GHC into an infinite loop.
    
    	newtype T = MkT T
    
      This happened because Type.repType looked throught newtypes,
      and that never stopped!  Now TcTyDecls.mkNewTyConRep does the job
      more carefully, and the result is cached in the TyCon itself.
    
    
    * Improve the handling of type signatures & pragmas.  Previously a
      mis-placed (say) SPECIALISE instance pragmas could be silently
      ignored.
    
    
    Both these changes involved moving quite a lot of stuff between modules.
