Recursive use of type-in-type results in infinite loop
Typechecking this module results in an infinite loop:
{-# LANGUAGE DataKinds #-}
{-# LANGUAGE ExistentialQuantification #-}
{-# LANGUAGE KindSignatures #-}
{-# LANGUAGE TypeInType #-}
module X where
data V a
data T = forall (a :: S). MkT (V a)
data S = forall (a :: T). MkS (V a)
There's a mutually recursive reference so it should be rejected but maybe the check is not happening early enough (or the existing check is only for self-reference.)
