That is what was happening for me at the time.  Operadics was exporting bind 
(>>-), ap (<*>) and fmap (<^>), and SwiftCheck was pulling in Operadics inline 
in the non-SPM build.  The two modules were literally trying to export the same 
operators with the same precedencegroup declarations.  My definition of 
“perfectly identical” covers this case.

In that case there is a nice structural equality that falls out of the current 
way things are defined, more so than before given that we can use the relative 
precedences (and given that most libraries don’t set up precedencegroup 
lattices that are complex as TypeLift does).  Essentially, the problem is 
verifying a bisimulation with alpha-equivalence at all the edges.
