mkGADTVars panic with a GADT data family instance and unused variable in forall
```haskell {-# LANGUAGE DataKinds #-} {-# LANGUAGE GADTs #-} {-# LANGUAGE PolyKinds #-} {-# LANGUAGE ScopedTypeVariables #-} {-# LANGUAGE StandaloneKindSignatures #-} {-# LANGUAGE TypeApplications #-} {-# LANGUAGE TypeFamilies #-} module T23784 where import Data.Kind type Sing :: forall k. k -> Type data family Sing a data instance forall a b. Sing a where S :: Sing '() ``` ``` <no location info>: error: panic! (the 'impossible' happened) GHC version 9.9.20230724: mkGADTVars [k_awT[sk:1], b_awF[sk:1], k_awU[sk:1], a_awE[sk:1]] <InScope = {a_awE[sk:1] k_awU[sk:1]} IdSubst = [] TvSubst = [awE :-> '(), awU :-> ()] CvSubst = []> Call stack: CallStack (from HasCallStack): callStackDoc, called at compiler\GHC\Utils\Panic.hs:191:37 in ghc-9.9-inplace:GHC.Utils.Panic pprPanic, called at compiler\GHC\Tc\TyCl.hs:4244:9 in ghc-9.9-inplace:GHC.Tc.TyCl CallStack (from HasCallStack): panic, called at compiler\GHC\Utils\Error.hs:503:29 in ghc-9.9-inplace:GHC.Utils.Error Please report this as a GHC bug: https://www.haskell.org/ghc/reportabug ``` I think this is to do with the way we create a representation `TyCon` for a data family instance using the full set of bound variables in the `forall` (see the use of `ty_binders` in `mkAlgTyCon` in `GHC.Tc.TyCl.Instance.tcDataFamInstDecl` and Note [Data type families] in `GHC.Core.TyCon`). I ran into this when working on error messages for unused type variables in family instances in !11032. I will investigate, but pinging @rae as the authority on this code (in case anything obvious springs to mind).
