Template Haskell applies too many arguments to kind synonym
Running the following code:
{-# LANGUAGE TemplateHaskell #-}
{-# LANGUAGE TypeInType #-}
module IdStarK where
import Data.Kind
import Language.Haskell.TH
type Id a = a
data Proxy (a :: Id k) = Proxy
$(return [])
main :: IO ()
main = do
putStrLn $(reify ''Proxy >>= stringE . pprint)
putStrLn $(reify ''Proxy >>= stringE . show)
Gives a result I wouldn't have expected:
$ /opt/ghc/head/bin/runghc IdStarK.hs
data IdStarK.Proxy (a_0 :: IdStarK.Id * k_1) = IdStarK.Proxy
TyConI (DataD [] IdStarK.Proxy [KindedTV a_1627394516 (AppT (AppT (ConT IdStarK.Id) StarT) (VarT k_1627394515))] Nothing [NormalC IdStarK.Proxy []] [])
From the output, it appears that Id is being applied to two arguments, both * and k! Perhaps this indirectly (or directly) a consequence of #11376 (closed)?
