GHCi :i ommits constraints

hello, 
 
GHCi ommits the constraints on a data constructor when using 
the ":i" command: 
 
> class C a 
> newtype C a => T a = T a 
 
*Main> :i T 
-- T is a data constructor, defined at bug2.lhs:4 
T :: forall a. a -> T a     (***  C a is missing ***) 
 
-- T is a type constructor, defined at bug2.lhs:4 
newtype (C a) => T a = T a 
*Main> :t T 
forall a. (C a) => a -> T a 
 
bye
