Kind inference of class variables does not examine associated types
If I say this
{-# LANGUAGE TypeFamilies, PolyKinds, DataKinds #-}
module Bug where
class C a where
type F (x :: Maybe a)
then GHCi says this
*Bug> :k C
C :: k -> Constraint
That's silly. C should have kind Type -> Constraint, because the usage of a in the kind of the associated type constraints a's kind.
Will fix.
