Comment(by simonpj):
Yes that looks right. But it took me a little while to figure out how your
change worked. In effect `lookupFixSigNames` and `lookupLocalDataTcNames`
are identical except that
* The latter has a special case for Exact names; it would do no harm for
this to be used in both
* `lookupFixSigNames`, used ony in fixity signatures, always adds a
`TcClsName`
* `lookupLocalDataTcNames`, used only in warnings (`rnSrcWarnDecls`),
adds a `TcClsName` to a `DataName`.
The difference is troubling, and I bet it should not exist. Can we just
combine the two? And then you won't need to separate out
`lookupMultipleNames`.
And add a Note that gives an example, both of giving fixity for a type
constructor, and for a type constructor operator.
Thanks
