 I managed to make GHC spit out an unusual warning when doing some
 dependent Haskell recently. This issue is reproducible on GHC 8.0.1,
 8.0.2, 8.2.1, and HEAD. You'll need these two files:

 You'll need to compile the files like this:

 {{{

 $ /opt/ghc/8.0.2/bin/ghc -fforce-recomp -O2 -c ListSpec.hs
 ./Eliminator.hi
 Declaration for elimListTyFun
 Unfolding of elimListTyFun:
   Iface type variable out of scope:  k2
 }}}
