Probably AllowAmbiguousTypes + UndecidableInstances + TypeInType

ghc.exe: panic! (the 'impossible' happened)

(GHC version 8.0.2 for x86_64-unknown-mingw32):

isInjectiveTyCon sees a TcTyCon KLN

{-# LANGUAGE RankNTypes, GADTs, TypeOperators, PolyKinds, DataKinds, TypeFamilies, AllowAmbiguousTypes, UndecidableInstances, TypeInType #-}

module MCS.Function where

import MCS.Core
--import MCS.Value
import Data.Kind -- necessary for *

type family KLN (n :: k) :: Nat where
    KLN (f :: v -> k) = S (KLN (forall t. f t))
    KLN (f :: *) = Z

type family Reveal (n :: k) (l :: Vect (KLN n) L) :: * where
    Reveal (f :: v -> k) (Cons (Label (t :: v)) l) = Reveal (f t) l
    Reveal (a :: *) Nil = a

The problem *has* to be somewhere in the KLN / Reveal interaction, so I removed everything else for this. Every other weird area is commented out or unused, and the bug vanished when KLN / Reveal was commented out. KLN shouldn't even work. If it could be interaction with the rest of the document, I'll put that back in.
