 The following code compiles without complaint:

 {{{
 {-# LANGUAGE TypeFamilies, PolyKinds #-}

 class Foo a where
   type Bar a

 instance Foo Int where
   type Bar Int = Maybe

 instance Foo Bool where
   type Bar Bool = Double
 }}}

 We can see here that {{{Bar}}} is ill-kinded. When I try {{{:k Bar}}} in
 GHCi, I get an assertion failure, not unexpectedly.

 I will fix in ongoing work.
