Comment:

 This was caused by either commit 77bb09270c70455bbd547470c4e995707d19f37d
 ( Re-add FunTy (big patch)) or e368f3265b80aeb337fbac3f6a70ee54ab14edfd
 (Major patch to introduce TyConBinder). I can't know for sure since commit
 77bb09270c70455bbd547470c4e995707d19f37d doesn't build properly.
