 Consider this code
 {{{
 {-# OPTIONS_GHC -fdefer-out-of-scope-variables #-}

 module Foo where

 import Data.Coerce

 f :: Bool
 f = coerce (k :: Int)
 }}}
 It generates a lint error:
 {{{
 *** Core Lint errors : in result of Desugar (after optimization) ***
 <no location info>: warning:
     [RHS of cobox_a11N :: (Int :: *) ~R# (Bool :: *)]
     The type of this binder is unlifted: cobox_a11N
     Binder's type: (Int :: *) ~R# (Bool :: *)
 *** Offending Program ***
 $trModule :: Module
 [LclIdX]
 $trModule = Module (TrNameS "main"#) (TrNameS "Foo"#)

 [LclId[CoVarId]]
 cobox_a11N
   = typeError
       @ ('TupleRep '[])
       @ ((Int :: *) ~R# (Bool :: *))

        \(deferred type error)"#)
     `cast` (cobox_a11N :: (Int :: *) ~R# (Bool :: *))

 *** End of Offense ***
 }}}
 Reason: this rather hacky test in `TcUnify.buildImplication`
 {{{
        ; if null skol_tvs && null given && (not deferred_type_errors ||
                                             not (isTopTcLevel tc_lvl))
 }}}
 did take account of `Opt_DeferOutOfScopeVariables`.
