 Ryan discovers another `-ddump-splices` bug—news at 11:

 {{{#!hs
 {-# LANGUAGE RankNTypes #-}
 {-# LANGUAGE TemplateHaskell #-}
 {-# OPTIONS_GHC -ddump-splices #-}
 module Bug where

 $([d| f :: forall a. (Show a => a) -> a
       f _ = undefined
     |])
 }}}
 {{{

     f :: forall a. Show a => a -> a
     f _ = undefined
 }}}

 Notice that `f`'s type signature is pretty-printed as `forall a. Show a =>
 a -> a`, which is just wrong. Patch incoming.
