Desugaring necessarily removes this information: "a" and "b" below have the
same type, so their fully-desugared (canonical) types are by definition the
same. It's hard to say more than that without digging deeply into your use
case, but if you want to present information on the type as written, you
generally shouldn't be desugaring the type.
