Fix printing of higher-rank kinds
Witness this GHCi session:
rae:09:18:37 ~/ghc/ghc> ghci -ignore-dot-ghci
GHCi, version 8.0.1: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ :? for help
Prelude> :set -XTypeInType -XRankNTypes
Prelude> import Data.Kind
Prelude Data.Kind> data Foo :: (* -> *) -> (forall k. k -> *)
Prelude Data.Kind> :info Foo
type role Foo phantom nominal phantom
data Foo (a :: * -> *) k (c :: k)
-- Defined at <interactive>:3:1
The output from :info
is terrible, treating k
as a visible parameter when it isn't.
This is spun off from #13399 (closed) but is not tightly coupled to that ticket.
