Comment (by Hjulle):

 I found this when I was looking for a way to expand type signatures.
 According to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13595773/expand-type-
 synonyms-type-families-with-ghci :kind! is the way to do it.

 If it was intentional to remove that, is there another way to expand type
 signatures in ghci?
