So you can get rid of it entirely I think {{{ go (InstCo co _) = go co }}} * `Note [Nested InstCos]` applies to `coercionKind` but not, I think, to `coercionRole` * `Note [Computing a coercion kind and role]` claims that computing the result of `coercionRole (NthCo d co)` requires `coercionKind`. But it manifestly does not. '''Richard''' is this note simply wrong? -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11735#comment:19 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
