 Witness this GHCi session:

 {{{
 rae:09:18:37 ~/ghc/ghc> ghci -ignore-dot-ghci
 GHCi, version 8.0.1: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/  :? for help
 Prelude> :set -XTypeInType -XRankNTypes
 Prelude> import Data.Kind
 Prelude Data.Kind> data Foo :: (* -> *) -> (forall k. k -> *)
 Prelude Data.Kind> :info Foo
 type role Foo phantom nominal phantom
 data Foo (a :: * -> *) k (c :: k)
         -- Defined at <interactive>:3:1
 }}}

 The output from `:info` is terrible, treating `k` as a visible parameter
 when it isn't.

 This is spun off from #13399 but is not tightly coupled to that ticket.
