Indeed, those look like impredicative instantiations of `(.)` that should require `ImpredicativeTypes`. I think we should keep the patch, and flag up this issue in the release notes, although the error message makes it fairly obvious how to fix the problem. :-) Or should we be more concerned about maintaining support for existing programs, given that this is a bugfix release? -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10194#comment:12 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
