Constraint synonym with Implicit Parameter

This:

{-# LANGUAGE ConstraintKinds, ImplicitParams #-}
module Foo where
type Foo = ?foo::()

gives

Foo.hs:3:1: error:
    • Illegal implicit parameter ‘?foo::()’
    • In the type synonym declaration for ‘Foo’

in GHC HEAD. It used to work in GHC-7.10. Did not check GHC-8.0.
