changed weight to 5

added Tbug Trac import TypeInType labels

mentioned in commit 6f6d1050

closed

HEAD gives

Prelude Data.Kind> type (a <--> b) iso cat = ISO (iso :: cat a b)

<interactive>:7:31: error:
    • Expected kind ‘Cat a’, but ‘(iso :: cat a b)’ has kind ‘cat a b’
    • In the first argument of ‘ISO’, namely ‘(iso :: cat a b)’
      In the type ‘ISO (iso :: cat a b)’
      In the type declaration for ‘<-->’

probably as a result of the patches I pushed yesterday. Hurrah.

I've added a regression test, to be on the safe side.
