In this example, that is not the case, because the kind of the tyvar contains a metavariable; it is zonked at an occurrence but not at the binding site. The fix is easy: do an extra zonk in `kcLHsQTyVars_NonCusk`, but fixing #16344 will also make this problem melt away. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/16347#comment:4 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
