It's not quite that simple; `utils/genprimcode` knows nothing of the `r` tyvar. You will need to introduce such a variable, along with a `primtype` for `RuntimeRep` itself.
The `r` variable won't give `utils/genprimopcode` any problems but it won't have a kind annotation `:: RuntimeRep` on it. That's all temporary though. Once the Hi Haddock patch makes it into GHC/Haddock, you should even get the right kind annotation for free. This should all be analogous to the `data (->) a b` patch (https://phabricator.haskell.org/D5167). (With Hi Haddock, that gets rendered as `data (a :: TYPE r) -> (b :: TYPE q)`.) -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/15935#comment:3 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
