Type checker regression introduced by visible type-application
TODO: figure out better summary ;-)
The following snippet extracted from Edward's profunctors
package compiles with GHC 7.10.3, but fails to type-check with GHC HEAD:

Strong.hs:57:12: error:
• Couldn't match type ‘Tambara p (a, c) (b, c)’ with ‘forall c1. Tambara p (a, c1) (b, c1)’
Expected type: Tambara (Tambara p) a b -> Tambara p (a, c) (b, c)
Actual type: Tambara (Tambara p) a b -> forall c. Tambara p (a, c) (b, c)
• In the first argument of ‘(.)’, namely ‘runTambara’
In the expression: runTambara . produplicate
In an equation for ‘first'’: first' = runTambara . produplicate
• Relevant bindings include first' :: Tambara p a b -> Tambara p (a, c) (b, c) (bound at Strong.hs:57:3)
