Grego,

 

Yes I think that should auto-specialise.

 

Which version of GHC are you using?   Do you have this patch?

 

commit ef0135934fe32da5b5bb730dbce74262e23e72e8

    Make the specialiser handle polymorphic specialisation

 

 

Here’s why I ask.  The call

 

$fMonadIO_$c>> = \ (@a) (@b) -> $dm>> @IO $fMonadIO @a @b

 

indeed applies $dm>> to $fMonadIO, but it also applies it to a and b.  In the version of GHC you have, maybe that stops the call from floating up to the definition site, and being used to specialise it.

 

Can you make a repro case without your plugin?

 

Simon
