Fix #18323 by adding a few lines of code to handle non-recursive pattern bindings. see GHC.Tc.Gen.Bind Note [Special case for non-recursive pattern bindings] Alas, this confused the pattern-match overlap checker; see #18323. Note that this patch only affects pattern bindings like that for (x,y) in this program combine :: (forall a . [a] -> a) -> [forall a. a -> a] -> ((forall a . [a] -> a), [forall a. a -> a]) breaks = let (x,y) = combine head ids in x y True We need ImpredicativeTypes for those [forall a. a->a] types to be valid. And with ImpredicativeTypes the old, unprincipled "allow unification variables to unify with a polytype" story actually works quite well. So this test compiles fine (if delicatedly) with old GHCs; but not with QuickLook unless we add this patch
