 When I say

 {{{#!hs
 data family DF a (b :: k)
 data instance DF (Proxy c) :: Proxy j -> Type
 }}}

 with `-ddump-tc`, I get

 {{{
   axiom Scratch.D:R:DFProxyProxy0 ::
     forall k1 k2 (c :: k1) (j :: k2) (a :: Proxy j).
       DF (Proxy c) a = Scratch.R:DFProxyProxy k1 k2 c j
 }}}

 This is bogus, because `a` should be on the RHS, too. It's not clear to me
 whether this is a pretty-printing bug or a real one.
