Comment (by diatchki):
Well, `=>` is not really a type-constructor, but rather a syntactic form.
So I don't think it should ever appear alone, or partially applied, in a
Haskell program.
If we ever promoted it to an actual type-constructor status---which is an
interesting idea---I think that we should assign it its own type-
constructor and stop reusing the function-space constructor.
