Can't parse type with kind ascription with GHCi's :kind command
I was playing around with GHCi's :kind command and noticed that trying to ascribe a type with a kind doesn't parse:
$ inplace/bin/ghc-stage2 --interactive
GHCi, version 7.11.20151219: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ :? for help
λ> :set -XTypeInType
λ> :kind 'True :: Bool
<interactive>:1:7: error: parse error on input ‘::’This seems like something that should be able to parse, given that :type True :: Bool parses just fine. Is there a reason it couldn't?
