Runtime representation confusingly displayed
- 3.20170605:
> :set -XRankNTypes -XTypeInType
> import GHC.Exts (TYPE, RuntimeRep(LiftedRep))
> type Pair (a::TYPE rep) (b::TYPE rep') rep'' = forall (r::TYPE rep''). (a -> b -> r) -> r

It still behaves oddly with -fprint-explicit-runtime-reps enabled
> :set -fprint-explicit-runtime-reps
> :kind Pair
Pair :: * -> * -> forall (rep'' :: RuntimeRep) -> *
> :kind Pair Int
Pair Int :: * -> forall (rep'' :: RuntimeRep) -> *
> :kind Pair Int Float
Pair Int Float :: *
> :kind Pair Int Float LiftedRep
Pair Int Float LiftedRep :: *
I would have also expected to see Pair's kind displayed something like this
forall {rep :: RuntimeRep} {rep' :: RuntimeRep}. TYPE rep -> TYPE rep' -> forall (rep'' :: RuntimeRep) -> *
which is how the kind of the corresponding newtype gets displayed
> newtype Pair2 (a::TYPE rep) (b::TYPE rep') rep'' = P2 (forall (r::TYPE rep''). (a -> b -> r) -> r)
> :kind Pair2
Pair2 :: forall {rep :: RuntimeRep} {rep' :: RuntimeRep}.
TYPE rep -> TYPE rep' -> forall (rep'' :: RuntimeRep) -> *
