Hi!
This is not really a bug but a request for better error messages. A couple
of minutes ago I got the following:
Constraints.lhs:42:
Couldn't match `* -> *' against `Type bx'
Expected kind: * -> *
Inferred kind: Type bx
When checking that `Annotation' is a type
In the data type declaration for `AConstraint''
Now what is Type bx? I suppose ghc is telling me that Annotation should
either have kind * or # but its rather cryptic.
