static: check for identifiers should only consider term level variables
Consider
{-# LANGUAGE ScopedTypeVariables #-}
{-# LANGUAGE StaticPointers #-}
module Main where
import Data.Proxy
import GHC.StaticPtr
foo :: forall a. StaticPtr (Proxy a)
foo = static (Proxy :: Proxy a)
main :: IO ()
main = putStrLn "Hi"
This yields
Only identifiers of top-level bindings can appear in the body of the static form:
static (Proxy :: Proxy a)
but the following identifiers were found instead:
a
but a
is a type-level variable and therefore by definition static.
