 The following program is accepted by ghc even though it is clearly wrong.
 The type family T is closed so T Bool cannot ever be reduced, so it must
 be a type error.

 {{{#!hs
 {-# LANGUAGE TypeFamilies #-}
 module Err62 where

 type family T a where
     T Int = ()

 x :: T Bool
 x = undefined

 f :: T Bool -> Bool
 f _ = True

 y :: Bool
 y = f x
 }}}
