Comment (by goldfire):

 +1 from me.

 I lived without a .ghci file until I experienced pain from this particular
 issue. Now, I have

 {{{
 :seti -XPolyKinds
 :set -fprint-explicit-foralls
 :set -fprint-explicit-kinds
 }}}

 among other options.

 Perhaps it might also be nice to inform the user to use `-fprint-explicit-
 kinds` in an error message if some heuristics (don't know what, at the
 moment) indicate that it might be helpful. I feel like I've answered
 several invalid bug reports because of quite legitimately confusing error
 messages.
