[Haskell-cafe] Rank N Kinds

[Wvv]

OMG!
I still have 7.6.3. It has old Typeable.

I misunderstood PolyKinds a bit. It looks like k /= **, k ~ *******...

But we cannot use "CloseKinds" like

data Foo (a::k) = Foo a -- catch an error "Expected kind `OpenKind', but `a' has
kind `k'"


with RankNKinds we could write:
data Foo (a::**) = Foo a
data Bar (a::***) = Bar a

So, now the task is more easy:
I'm asking for useful examples with "CloseKinds" with ** and higher, and any
useful examples for *** and higher

cheers, Wvv

  Hi,

    First useful use is in Typeable.
    In GHC 7.8
    class Typeable (a::k) where ... <<==>> class Typeable (a ::**) where ...

    But we can't write
    data Foo (a::k)->(a::k)->* ... deriving Typeable


  Why not? This works fine in 7.7, as far as I know.


  Cheers,
  Pedro
