 Using the https://phabricator.haskell.org/D5229 diff

 This is '''fine'''

 {{{#!hs
 {-# Language RankNTypes       #-}
 {-# Language TypeApplications #-}
 {-# Language PolyKinds        #-}
 {-# Language GADTs            #-}

 import Data.Kind

 data
   App :: forall (f :: Type -> Type). Type -> Type
   where
   MkApp :: f a -> App @f a
 }}}

 Kind polymorphic is '''fine'''

 {{{#!hs

 {-# Language TypeApplications #-}
 {-# Language PolyKinds        #-}
 {-# Language GADTs            #-}

 import Data.Kind

 data
   App :: forall k (f :: k -> Type). k -> Type
   where
   MkApp :: f a -> App @k @(f :: k -> Type) (a :: k)
 }}}

 But offing the visibility of `k` '''fails'''

 {-# Language GADTs            #-}

 import Data.Kind

 data
   App :: forall (f :: k -> Type). k -> Type
   where
   MkApp :: f a -> App @(f :: k -> Type) (a :: k)
 }}}

 import Data.Kind

   App :: forall (f :: k -> Type). k -> Type
