 The patch from https://phabricator.haskell.org/D4865 introduces

 {{{#!hs
     go _ (HsParTy _ (dL->L l (HsStarTy _ isUni))) acc ann fix
       = do { warnStarBndr l
            ; let name = mkOccName tcClsName (if isUni then "★" else "*")
            ; return (cL l (Unqual name), acc, fix, ann) }
 }}}

 which discards the parens annotations belonging to the `HsParTy`.
