 This was found while building
 https://hackage.haskell.org/package/foundation with ghc head.

 The following code is reduced from Basement.Primitive.Error:
 {{{
 {-# LANGUAGE MagicHash, PolyKinds, RankNTypes #-}
 module FoundationRegression where

 import           GHC.Prim
 import           GHC.Types (RuntimeRep)

 error :: forall (r :: RuntimeRep) . forall (a :: TYPE r) . String -> a
 error s = raise# undefined
 }}}

 This compiles works with 8.2.1, but fails on master:
 {{{
 $ /opt/ghc/8.2.1/bin/ghc -c FoundationRegression.hs
 $ /opt/ghc/head/bin/ghc -c FoundationRegression.hs

 FoundationRegression.hs:7:17: error:
     Variable ‘r’ used as both a kind and a type
     Did you intend to use TypeInType?
   |
 7 | error :: forall (r :: RuntimeRep) . forall (a :: TYPE r) . String -> a
   |                 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 }}}

 After adding a TypeInType language pragma the program is accepted.
