Kind variables not allowed in type family instance declarations
I am trying to create a kind-indexed type family, but I cannot use kind variables in my kind annotations:
{-# LANGUAGE PolyKinds, TypeFamilies, DataKinds #-}
type family KindFam a
type instance KindFam (a :: *) = Int
type instance KindFam (a :: Bool) = Bool
type instance KindFam (a :: Maybe k) = Char -- doesn't work
