Associated type is accepted even without mentioning class parameters
The following module is accepted:
{-# LANGUAGE TypeFamilies #-}
module Bug where
class C a where
type F b
Note that the associate type family F does not mention the class variable a. Because associated type families are somewhat thin sugar over non-associated type families, I doubt this causes any great disaster anywhere, but it should probably be fixed.
