Comment (by goldfire):

 I wouldn't expect `k` to scope over the body in either of the original
 examples.

 I think that users should have to explicitly bind `k` in the `forall` to
 get it to scope. However, making this not so painful will require sorting
 out [https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/83 this proposal]
 first.
