Comment(by tim):
The reason for having the ExternalCore data types is that External Core
has a semantics (through the ext-core typechecker and interpreter), and
I'm not sure whether IfaceSyn does (though I'm not really familiar with
it). (Of course, the semantics probably doesn't reflect GADTs right
now...)
I'm not really sure I'm up for giving ext-core more love at this point,
but I wanted to recommend some caution...
