Comment (by RyanGlScott):

 After faec8d358985e5d0bf363bd96f23fe76c9e281f7, this is partially done.
 This data type's kind is currently rejected for being ambiguous:

 {{{#!hs
 type family F a
 data T1 :: forall a. F a -> Type
 }}}

 However, it would be premature to call this issue fixed, since the
 following two data types with very similar kinds are //not// rejected as
 ambiguous:

 {{{#!hs
 data T2 :: F a -> Type
 data T3 (b :: F a)
 }}}
