This means if we have a constructor like R'lyeh :: FreePro r c x y -> FreePro r c (Either a x) (Either b y) -> FreePro r c a b (or more complex second argument) then we can still summon one, right?

The _<blah> bit only shows up if all of your type arguments are variables, which prevents arbitrarily long terms. I think we're still safe.

This PR makes Wingman pick more idiomatic identifiers when generating new variables.
Before, the situation was quite bad for complicated types:
But now, Wingman uses a bunch of rules to find acceptable names. It categorizes variables by their purpose, correlating roughly with intended semantic meaning. Right now, that means we can find things like monadic actions, functions, and predicates. For each purpose, we give a preferred ordering of variable names, and Wingman uses the first one that is available.
For long type constructors, Wingman will attempt to split them by camel case, turning eg
HelloWorldintohw. if that fails, it uses the first syllable of the constructor.This is not yet a perfect solution to naming, which should constrain names based on the relationship. But it's a significant step forward.
