 Wombling around in Trac #14808

 Comment:4 in Trac #14808 explains why I'm unhappy with the current
 state of affairs -- at least the lack of documentation.

 This smallpatch does nothing major:

 * adds comments
 * uses existing type synonyms more (notably FreeKiTyVarsWithDups)
 * adds another test case to T14808
