 The `opt_sig` production is defined as

 {{{
 opt_sig :: { ([AddAnn],Maybe (LHsType RdrName)) }
         : {- empty -}                   { ([],Nothing) }
         | '::' sigtype                  { ([mj AnnDcolon $1],Just $2) }
 }}}

 It is used in the `alt` and `decl_no_th` productions, but neither of them
 add the returned annotations.
