Comment (by rwbarton):

 So `TypeInType` enables `DataKinds` and `PolyKinds`, and
 `TypeApplications` enables `AllowAmbiguousTypes`. (The rest are default in
 ghci.)

 Turning off the "kind defaulting" to * from standard Haskell could result
 in some pretty confusing errors! Think of situations like #11324. But, OK,
 I guess...
