Doesn't happen if
{{{#!hs
data I (a :: Type) (b :: k)
}}}
also doesn't happen if

 {{{#!hs
 data I (a :: k) (b :: Type)
 }}}

 ----

 Also test whether it panics on the `:kind!` command:

 {{{#!hs
 data I (a :: Type) (b :: Type)
 instance Category I where
   type Ob I = (~) Int
 }}}
 {{{
 ghci> :kind! Ob I
 ghc: panic! (the 'impossible' happened)
   (GHC version 8.0.0.20160511 for x86_64-unknown-linux):
         print_equality ~

 Please report this as a GHC bug:  http://www.haskell.org/ghc/reportabug
