 This type signature doesn't compile:

 {{{
 forall v. _
 => Acc (Array DIM2 (v Double))
 -> Acc (Array DIM2 (v Double))
 -> Acc (A.Vector Double)
 -> Acc (Array DIM2 Double)
 }}}

 with "Invalid partial type signature ... An extra-constraints wildcard is
 only allowed at the top-level of the signature"

 I need the forall because I use `v` in the body of the function.

 This occurs with version 7.10.1.20150612 but not 7.10.1.20150519
