 If I say this

 {{{
 {-# LANGUAGE TypeFamilies, PolyKinds, DataKinds #-}

 module Bug where

 class C a where
   type F (x :: Maybe a)
 }}}

 then GHCi says this

 {{{
 *Bug> :k C
 C :: k -> Constraint
 }}}

 That's silly. `C` should have kind `Type -> Constraint`, because the usage
 of `a` in the kind of the associated type constraints `a`'s kind.

 Will fix.
