    Substantial improvements in RtClosureInspect
    
    The code for constructors in cvReconstrutType and cvObtainTerm
    was grotesque.  It's now slightly better.  And it works with
    the new coercion representation.
    
    Apart from being simpler I have also made some small behavioural
    improvements
      * Improved printing for string values
      * Preserve the print-name when instanting type variables
        (so now they are not always called "t")
      * Suppressed printing of predicate arguments to
        data constructors, unless -dppr-debug is on
