PolyKinds, Control.Category and GHC 7.6.1

[Austin Seipp]

I presume people are still interested in this. I actually just ran
into Category's non poly-kinded-ness the other day (while attempting
to make a Category instance for promoted pairs) and found this email
in my history.

Can we schedule this for 7.8.1? There's -plenty- of time, and the
addendum to Control.Category that Edward posted originally is pretty
much all that is needed. If that sounds OK, I can post a patch for
review or commit it directly to base.
