Non-existant variable in error message in type family instance
## Summary In an error message about unused variables in type family instance, GHC mentions a variable, that doesn't exist in source code. ## Steps to reproduce ```haskell {-# LANGUAGE TypeFamilies, ExplicitForAll, PolyKinds #-} module Bug where type family F type instance forall a. F = () ``` This code produces the following error message: ``` • Type variables ‘k’, ‘a’ are bound by a forall, but not used in the family instance ``` What is `k`? Why GHC mentions it? ## Expected behavior `Type variable ‘a’ is bound by a forall...` ## Environment * GHC version used: - Versions [8.8 .. HEAD] report ‘k’, ‘a’ - 8.6 cannot parse this syntax.
