Remove the identity-substitution "optimisation" from zip_ty_env. -- There used to be a special case for when -- ty == TyVarTy tv -- (a not-uncommon case) in which case the substitution was dropped. -- But the type-tidier changes the print-name of a type variable without -- changing the unique, and that led to a bug. Why? Pre-tidying, we had -- a type {Foo t}, where Foo is a one-method class. So Foo is really a newtype. -- And it happened that t was the type variable of the class. Post-tiding, -- it got turned into {Foo t2}. The ext-core printer expanded this using -- sourceTypeRep, but that said "Oh, t == t2" because they have the same unique, -- and so generated a rep type mentioning t not t2. -- -- Simplest fix is to nuke the "optimisation"
