Ah, there is it is!
But I'm trying to write code that works with ghc-7.10 *and* ghc-8.0
(yes, I'm using CPP in all its ugly glory), but if I've got code that
works with ghc-7.10 (the first type signature below):
> - dataD :: CxtQ -> Name -> [TyVarBndr] -> [ConQ] -> [Name] -> DecQ
> + dataD :: CxtQ -> Name -> [TyVarBndr] -> Maybe Kind -> [ConQ] -> CxtQ -> DecQ
how do I convert it to the second? Adding a `Nothing` for the `Maybe
Kind` argument is easy, but if the old code has `[Name]`, how do I
convert it to a `CxtQ`. The `cxt` function won't do it.
