Inconsistent -Wpartial-fields warnings with (~) vs. (~~)
In this program:
{-# LANGUAGE GADTs #-}
{-# LANGUAGE TypeOperators #-}
{-# OPTIONS_GHC -Wpartial-fields #-}
module Bug where
import Data.Type.Equality
data T1 z where
MkT1a :: { rec1 :: () } -> T1 Int
MkT1b :: (z ~ Bool) => T1 z
data T2 z where
MkT2a :: { rec2 :: () } -> T2 Int
MkT2b :: (z ~~ Bool) => T2 z
I get no -Wpartial-fields–related warnings for rec1, but I do for rec2:
GHCi, version 8.6.4: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ :? for help

Bug.hs:13:14: warning: [-Wpartial-fields]
Use of partial record field selector: ‘rec2’
|
13 | MkT2a :: { rec2 :: () } -> T2 Int
| ^^^^
This feels strangely inconsistent, since if GHC doesn't warn for rec1, which uses (~), then I feel like it shouldn't warn for rec2 either, as the only difference is that the surrounding constructor uses a slightly different equality constraint (~~).
The reason this happens is because the dataConCannotMatch function has special reasoning for (~), but not (~~). Patch incoming.
