In `A.hs-boot` (which has `-XPolyKinds`) we have {{{ T :: forall k. k -> Type }}} Then in `B.hs-boot` we have {{{ method :: forall i x. C i => T @Type i -> x }}} When compiling `A.hs` (no `-XPolyKinds`) we get {{{ T :: Type -> Type }}} Now, when we deserialise that imported singature for `method` we construct the ill-kinded type `T @Type i`. Result, disaster. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/16127#comment:8 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
