 > That does look wrong.  Can you explain how to reproduce it?
 That is part of error message produced by GHC 7.6.3. As for this output:

 {{{
 Data constructor ‘SFalse’ returns type ‘SingDF
                                           Bool k '(Bool, k -> *, 'False,
 Ctor k)’
 }}}

 I made a quick hack in `pprTcApp` and replaced `ty_args = drop arity tys`
 with `ty_args = tys`.
