Alan Do you know why HsTypes.ppr_mono_ty contains any uses of 'maybeParen'? Shouldn't the parens all be put in by HsParTy? I tripped over this when I mistakenly added what I thought were missing maybeParen calls for HsAppTy and HsAppTys, but that was flagged as an error by a test in tests/printer. So why are there /any/ maybeParen calls? Simon

When I was working through the ppr to use HsParTy everywhere it was not
clear whether there were any usages that required maybeParen, so I left it
in.
I can try to strip then all out and see what happens.

That’d be good! With a Note to explain why…
We still need ctxt_prec, I think, to pass to the ordinary type pretty-printer, when we have HsCoreTy.
