Comment (by Simon Peyton Jones <simonpj@…>):

 In [changeset:"2f3ea95285d0cccc2a999e7572d8fb78dc2ea441/ghc"]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="ghc"
 revision="2f3ea95285d0cccc2a999e7572d8fb78dc2ea441"
 Print for-alls more often (Trac #9018)

 We now display the foralls of a type if any of the type variables
 is polykinded.  This put kind polymorphism "in your face" a bit more
 often, but eliminates a lot of head scratching.

 The user manual reflects the new behaviour.
