Comment (by int-index):
> Do we need both? Or is there a way we could consolidate the two somehow?
Would the answer change if we made forall permanently a keyword in types?
No, we don't need both, and the `forall` proposal makes the matters
trivial. See https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/merge_requests/363
