This seems like a very brittle dependency with getTypeRepresentation.

[karlklose, 2013/01/30 15:37:18]

getTypeRepresentation is a helper that does not know what to generate for type
variables, so we have to tell it. As an alternative I could make two copies of
getTypeRepresentation or give it a second function that provides the text for
the name. Do you prefer that?

[ngeoffray, 2013/01/31 08:28:08]

Anything to remove this dependency yes. But what has changed since? You did not
need to pass the '#' before. getTypeRepresentation used to do it itself.

[karlklose, 2013/02/01 07:36:35]

The function is now also used in getSupertypeSubstitution, where it needs to
print the name of the function instead of a argument placeholder.
