* Preserve type variable names during type inference
During unification we attempt to preserve the print-names of type variables,
so that type error messages tend to mention type variables using the
programmer's vocabulary.
This had bit-rotted a bit when I added impredicative polymorphism; especially
when unBoxing a boxy type variable we should not gratuitously lose its name.
