Visible kind application

I've wanted this for a while

ghci> :kind (:~:)
(:~:) :: k -> k -> Type

ghci> :kind (:~:) @(Type -> Type)
(:~:) @(Type -> Type) :: (Type -> Type) -> (Type -> Type) -> Type

ghci> :kind (:~:) @(Type -> Type) []
(:~:) @(Type -> Type) [] :: (Type -> Type) -> Type

ghci> :kind (:~:) @(Type -> Type) [] Maybe
(:~:) @(Type -> Type) [] Maybe :: Type

Working like

ghci> type Same k (a::k) (b::k) = a :~: b
ghci> :kind Same
Same :: forall k -> k -> k -> *

ghci> :kind Same (Type -> Type)
Same (Type -> Type) :: (Type -> Type) -> (Type -> Type) -> *
ghci> :kind Same (Type -> Type) []
Same (Type -> Type) [] :: (Type -> Type) -> *
ghci> :kind Same (Type -> Type) [] Maybe
Same (Type -> Type) [] Maybe :: *
