So without the explicit kinding, I would expect ghci to give `G` the kind `forall a -> a`. But ghci does not agree:
{{{
:k G G :: a }}}
That's due to a separate GHC bug, #14238, which has been fixed in GHC 8.6.1. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/15658#comment:3 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
