 A type signature of the form

 {{{#!hs
 bar :: (   ) => a-> Bool
 }}}

 generates annotations for the `(  ) =>` but the SrcSpan they are attached
 to is discarded so the annotations are not attached to the AST.

 The discarding process happens in

 {{{#!hs
 mkHsForAllTy exp tvs (L _ []) ty = mk_forall_ty exp tvs ty
 }}}

 where the empty located context is discarded.
