#2836: Data.Typeable does not use qualified names

-----------------------------+----------------------------------------------
The TyCon in Data.Typeable does not provide the qualified type name.
This can be very annoying if you try to use a TypeRep as a stored
representation of a type (within a run it's OK with the equality on
TypeRep).
I suggest that the TyCon be enhanced to contain a qualified name, but that
the current API be maintained, except for adding some new functions to
access qualified name.
If prodded I could provide the Data.Typeable implementation and the fix to
ghc.
