Comment (by simonpj):

 This works in HEAD, but another variant makes HEAD, too, fail in the same
 way `No skolem info`:
 {{{
 matchReflK2 :: forall (a :: ka) (b :: kb) (r :: *).
               ('WrapType a :~: 'WrapType b) ->  r
 matchReflK2 x
  = let foo :: ('WrapType a ~ 'WrapType b) => r
        foo = undefined
    in undefined
 }}}
 Reason: the type of `foo` mentions `a`, `b`, `r` as free variables; the
 ambiguity check doesn't bind them; the error message generator falls over.

 Need to look into this.
