This module takes

	IfaceDecl -> TyThing
	IfaceType -> Type
	etc

An IfaceDecl is populated with RdrNames, and these are not renamed to
Names before typechecking, because there should be no scope errors etc.

	-- For (b) consider: f = \$(...h....)
	-- where h is imported, and calls f via an hi-boot file.  
	-- This is bad!  But it is not seen as a staging error, because h
	-- is indeed imported.  We don't want the type-checker to black-hole 
	-- when simplifying and compiling the splice!
	--
	-- Simple solution: discard any unfolding that mentions a variable
	-- bound in this module (and hence not yet processed).
	-- The discarding happens when forkM finds a type error.

%************************************************************************
%*									*
%*	tcImportDecl is the key function for "faulting in" 		*
%*	imported things
%*									*
%************************************************************************

The main idea is this.  We are chugging along type-checking source code, and
find a reference to GHC.Base.map.  We call tcLookupGlobal, which doesn't find
it in the EPS type envt.  So it 
	1 loads GHC.Base.hi
	2 gets the decl for GHC.Base.map
	3 typechecks it via tcIfaceDecl
	4 and adds it to the type env in the EPS

Note that DURING STEP 4, we may find that map's type mentions a type 
constructor that also 

Notice that for imported things we read the current version from the EPS
mutable variable.  This is important in situations like
	...$(e1)...$(e2)...
where the code that e1 expands to might import some defns that 
also turn out to be needed by the code that e2 expands to.

Note [Loading instances for wired-in things]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We need to make sure that we have at least *read* the interface files
for any module with an instance decl or RULE that we might want.  

* If the instance decl is an orphan, we have a whole separate mechanism
  (loadOprhanModules)

* If the instance decl not an orphan, then the act of looking at the
  TyCon or Class will force in the defining module for the
  TyCon/Class, and hence the instance decl

* BUT, if the TyCon is a wired-in TyCon, we don't really need its interface;
  but we must make sure we read its interface in case it has instances or
  rules.  That is what LoadIface.loadWiredInHomeInterface does.  It's called
  from TcIface.{tcImportDecl, checkWiredInTyCon, ifCheckWiredInThing}

* HOWEVER, only do this for TyCons.  There are no wired-in Classes.  There
  are some wired-in Ids, but we don't want to load their interfaces. For
  example, Control.Exception.Base.recSelError is wired in, but that module
  is compiled late in the base library, and we don't want to force it to
  load before it's been compiled!

All of this is done by the type checker. The renamer plays no role.
(It used to, but no longer.)

%************************************************************************

Suppose we discover we don't need to recompile.  Then we must type
check the old interface file.  This is a bit different to the
incremental type checking we do as we suck in interface files.  Instead
we do things similarly as when we are typechecking source decls: we
bring into scope the type envt for the interface all at once, using a
knot.  Remember, the decls aren't necessarily in dependency order --
and even if they were, the type decls might be mutually recursive.

\begin{code}
typecheckIface :: ModIface 	-- Get the decls from here
	       -> TcRnIf gbl lcl ModDetails
typecheckIface iface

	-- The tc_env_var is freshly allocated, private to 
	-- type-checking this particular interface
	{ 	-- Get the right set of decls and rules.  If we are compiling without -O
		-- we discard pragmas before typechecking, so that we don't "see"
		-- information that we shouldn't.  From a versioning point of view
		-- It's not actually *wrong* to do so, but in fact GHCi is unable 
		-- to handle unboxed tuples, so it must not see unfoldings.
	  ignore_prags <- doptM Opt_IgnoreInterfacePragmas

		-- Typecheck the decls.  This is done lazily, so that the knot-tying

%************************************************************************

When typechecking a data type decl, we *lazily* (via forkM) typecheck
the constructor argument types.  This is in the hope that we may never
poke on those argument types, and hence may never need to load the
interface files for types mentioned in the arg types.

E.g.	
	data Foo.S = MkS Baz.T
Mabye we can get away without even loading the interface for Baz!

This is not just a performance thing.  Suppose we have
	data Foo.S = MkS Baz.T
	data Baz.T = MkT Foo.S
(in different interface files, of course).
Now, first we load and typecheck Foo.S, and add it to the type envt.  
If we do explore MkS's argument, we'll load and typecheck Baz.T.
If we explore MkT's argument we'll find Foo.S already in the envt.  

If we typechecked constructor args eagerly, when loading Foo.S we'd try to
typecheck the type Baz.T.  So we'd fault in Baz.T... and then need Foo.S...
which isn't done yet.

All very cunning. However, there is a rather subtle gotcha which bit
me when developing this stuff.  When we typecheck the decl for S, we
extend the type envt with S, MkS, and all its implicit Ids.  Suppose
(a bug, but it happened) that the list of implicit Ids depended in
turn on the constructor arg types.  Then the following sequence of
events takes place:
	* we build a thunk <t> for the constructor arg tys
	* we build a thunk for the extended type environment (depends on <t>)
	* we write the extended type envt into the global EPS mutvar
	
Now we look something up in the type envt
	* that pulls on <t>
	* which reads the global type envt out of the global EPS mutvar
	* but that depends in turn on <t>

It's subtle, because, it'd work fine if we typechecked the constructor args 
eagerly -- they don't need the extended type envt.  They just get the extended
type envt by accident, because they look at it later.

What this means is that the implicitTyThings MUST NOT DEPEND on any of
the forkM stuff.

Note [Synonym kind loop]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Notice that we eagerly grab the *kind* from the interface file, but
build a forkM thunk for the *rhs* (and family stuff).  To see why, 
consider this (Trac #2412)

M.hs:       module M where { import X; data T = MkT S }
X.hs:       module X where { import {-# SOURCE #-} M; type S = T }
M.hs-boot:  module M where { data T }

When kind-checking M.hs we need S's kind.  But we do not want to
find S's kind from (typeKind S-rhs), because we don't want to look at
S-rhs yet!  Since S is imported from X.hi, S gets just one chance to
be defined, and we must not do that until we've finished with M.T.

Solution: record S's kind in the interface file; now we can safely
look at it.

%************************************************************************

We move a IfaceRule from eps_rules to eps_rule_base when all its LHS free vars
are in the type environment.  However, remember that typechecking a Rule may 
(as a side effect) augment the type envt, and so we may need to iterate the process.

  where
	-- This function *must* mirror exactly what Rules.topFreeName does
	-- We could have stored the ru_rough field in the iface file
	-- but that would be redundant, I think.
	-- The only wrinkle is that we must not be deceived by
	-- type syononyms at the top of a type arg.  Since

	-- to write them out in coreRuleToIfaceRule

-- Note [Tying the knot]
-- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-- The if_rec_types field is used in two situations:
--
-- a) Compiling M.hs, which indiretly imports Foo.hi, which mentions M.T
--    Then we look up M.T in M's type environment, which is splatted into if_rec_types
--    after we've built M's type envt.
--
-- b) In ghc --make, during the upsweep, we encounter M.hs, whose interface M.hi
--    is up to date.  So we call typecheckIface on M.hi.  This splats M.T into 
--    if_rec_types so that the (lazily typechecked) decls see all the other decls
--
-- In case (b) it's important to do the if_rec_types check *before* looking in the HPT
-- Because if M.hs also has M.hs-boot, M.T will *already be* in the HPT, but in its
-- emasculated form (e.g. lacking data constructors).
