 This:
 {{{
 {-# LANGUAGE ConstraintKinds, ImplicitParams #-}
 module Foo where
 type Foo = ?foo::()
 }}}
 gives
 {{{
 Foo.hs:3:1: error:
     • Illegal implicit parameter ‘?foo::()’
     • In the type synonym declaration for ‘Foo’
 }}}
 in GHC HEAD. It used to work in GHC-7.10. Did not check GHC-8.0.
