If I understand #15284 correctly, the fact that this doesn't parse is expected behavior when `StarIsType` is enabled, so I don't think this is a bug.
Thanks for setting us right, Ryan!
Oh dear. I've gotten confused about this again! And then I went ahead and confused Ben.
To be fair, the latter isn't hard to do :) The migration guide [[https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Migration/8.6#StarIsType indeed]] mentions this issue. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/15400#comment:7 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
