I'm trying to run the ConstraintKinds example from the documentation:

{-# LANGUAGE ConstraintKinds, TypeFamilies #-}
type family Typ a b :: Constraint
type instance Typ Int  b = Show b
type instance Typ Bool b = Num b

But GHC complains:
    Not in scope: type constructor or class `Constraint'

Do I have to import some GHC module for this?

Cheers,

Bas
