I tried implementing this at one point, but alas, the structure of `HsImplicitBndrs` does not make it easy to distinguish between a `k` appearing in `forall a. Char -> Proxy (a::k) -> Int` and a `k` appearing in `forall (a :: k). Char -> Proxy (a::k) -> Int`. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/14548#comment:2 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
