Comment:

 The users' guide documentation for `TypeApplications` has been improved
 since 8.0.1, and that section now properly mentions that if you wish to
 learn which types are available for visible type application, then you
 should use `:type +v`, not `:type`. See
 https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/8.4.2/docs/html/users_guide/glasgow_exts.html
 #visible-type-application (the result of #13401).
