 This program compiles fine although it names the result type variable,
 which is a piece of syntax that should only be available with
 `TypeFamilyDependencies` (injective type families):

 {{{#!haskell
 {-# LANGUAGE TypeFamilies #-}

 module Foo where

 type family F a = r where
     F a = a
 }}}

 If I say:

 {{{#!haskell
 type family F a = r | r -> a where
     F a = a
 }}}

 only then the definition is rejected.
