Comment (by kosmikus):

 Thanks a lot for the answer. This is indeed the kind of problem I was
 suspecting behind the limitation, but I wasn't quite sure what issues
 there are.

 I don't need this in any way. I've just been explaining constraint kinds
 in the context of Haskell courses and talks a couple of times recently,
 and I always thought it would be nice to be able to get GHCi to output the
 kind of `=>`. But I completely understand that it may be problematic to
 make `=>` completely first class.

 Feel free to close if you think this has no chance of being implemented
 any time soon.
