 The notes for `HsType` explain that `'[]` should parse as a
 `HsExplicitListTy` but it currently parses as a `HsTyVar`.

 I think this shift-reduce conflict might be to blame?

 {{{#!hs

 state 432 contains 1 shift/reduce conflicts.

         atype -> SIMPLEQUOTE '[' . comma_types0 ']'         (rule 318)
         sysdcon -> '[' . ']'                                (rule 613)

     Conflict: ']' (empty comma_types0 reudes)

 TODO: Why?
