Wildcards in type functions vs. named wild cards

[Jan Stolarek]

Simon,

One of my students (Michał, CCd) is hacking on #10982 and he noticed a rather unexpected 
behaviour. If I say:

{-# LANGUAGE TypeFamilies #-}

module T10982 where

type family F a where
    F _t = Int

Then everything is fine. But if I enable NamedWildCards extension then suddenly this code is 
rejected:

T10982.hs:7:7: error:
    Unexpected wild card: ‘_t’
    In the declaration for type synonym ‘F’

I am 99% sure this is a bug and the program should be accepted even with NamedWildCards. Am I 
correct? Does this interact in any way with your upcomming refactoring of wildcards?
