Note [The Name of an IfaceAnyTc]
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It isn't easy to get the Name of an IfaceAnyTc in a pure way. What you
really need to do is to transform it to a TyCon, and get the Name of that.
-But doing so needs the monad.
+But doing so needs the monad because there's an IfaceKind inside, and we
+need a Kind.
In fact, ifaceTyConName is only used for instances and rules, and we don't
expect to instantiate those at these (internal-ish) Any types, so rather
