With GHC 6.6, this module:

module G where

testL = foo undefined

class Foo t where
    foo :: m a -> t m a

leaks some debugging info(?):

Urk! Inventing strangely-kinded void TyCon:
    :t{tc ae2}
    (* -> *) -> * -> *

tmp.hs:4:8:
    Ambiguous type variable `t' in the constraint:
      `Foo t' arising from use of `foo' at tmp.hs:4:8-20
    Possible cause: the monomorphism restriction applied to the following:
      testL :: forall (m :: * -> *) a. t m a (bound at tmp.hs:4:0)
    Probable fix: give these definition(s) an explicit type signature
                  or use -fno-monomorphism-restriction

I haven't managed to get this message in an acceptable program.
