{{{
{-# LANGUAGE TemplateHaskell #-}
{-# LANGUAGE ConstraintKinds #-}
module ConstraintKindUser where
-- type Stringy a = (Read a, Show a)
$([d|type Stringy a = (Read a, Show a) |])
}}}
Results in this error message:
{{{
ConstraintKindUser.hs:7:3:
The first argument of a tuple should have kind ‛*’,
but ‛Read a_a2ZZ’ has kind ‛Constraint’
In the type ‛(Read a_a2ZZ, Show a_a2ZZ)’
In the type declaration for ‛Stringy’
}}}
This is a regression compared to 7.6.3.
