Polymorphic kind annotations on type classes don't always work as expected
Consider the following code for defining Atkey-style parameterised monads:
{-# LANGUAGE
PolyKinds
#-}
class PMonad m where
ret :: a -> m i i a
bind :: m i j a -> (a -> m j k b) -> m i k b
class PMonad' (m :: i -> i -> * -> *) where
ret' :: a -> m i i a
bind' :: m i j a -> (a -> m j k b) -> m i k b
The following types are inferred for ret and ret':
*Main> :t ret
ret :: PMonad * m => a -> m i i a
*Main> :t ret'
ret' :: PMonad' m => a -> m BOX BOX a
But ret' should have the former type.
