{{{
module A where
data T = A
}}}
{{{
module B where
import A
data S = A
foo :: A -> ()
foo = undefined
}}}
Compiling this example, the usage of `A` in `foo` is reported as both
ambiguous and out of scope.
I haven't mentioned data kinds at all so `A` should certainly refer to a
type constructor which isn't in scope. The problem is that `DataKinds` is
checked too late in `lookup_demoted`.
