-ddump-splices omits required parentheses around quantified constraints
If you compile this program with -ddump-splices:
{-# LANGUAGE QuantifiedConstraints #-}
{-# LANGUAGE TemplateHaskell #-}
{-# OPTIONS_GHC -ddump-splices #-}
module Bug where
import Language.Haskell.TH
data Foo x = MkFoo x
$([d| f :: (forall a. Eq (Foo a)) => Foo x -> Foo x -> Bool
f = (==)
|])
You'll notice something fishy:

Bug.hs:(10,3)-(12,6): Splicing declarations
[d| f_a1Ia ::
(forall a_a1Ic. Eq (Foo a_a1Ic)) =>
Foo x_a1Ib -> Foo x_a1Ib -> Bool
f_a1Ia = (==) |]
======>
f_a5tj ::
forall a_a5tk. Eq (Foo a_a5tk) => Foo x_a5ti -> Foo x_a5ti -> Bool
f_a5tj = (==)
Ok, one module loaded.
The signature for f gets pretty-printed as:
f_a5tj :: forall a_a5tk. Eq (Foo a_a5tk) => Foo x_a5ti -> Foo x_a5ti -> Bool
Which is just plain wrong—there is a missing set of parentheses around the quantified constraint forall a_a5tk. Eq (Foo a_a5tk).
Patch incoming.
