| Yet another question about module interfaces: The 0.29 release notes
| "NOTES.interface" confess to not expanding type synonyms. But comparing some
| LOLITA .lhs and .hi files, type synonyms *are* expanded. If my interface file
| pre-processor is not to expand synonyms itself, I need to justify this
| decision :-) So does or does not GHC expand type synonyms, please?
Yes, 0.29 expands them.
2.02 does too, but it may not do so forever, because the relaxed closure
rule means there's no need to.
