    	Implement kinded type declarations
    	----------------------------------
    
    This commit allows the programmer to supply kinds in
    	* data decls
    	* type decls
    	* class decls
    	* 'forall's in types
    
    e.g. 	data T (x :: *->*) = MkT
    
            type Composer c = forall (x :: * -> *) (y :: * -> *) (z :: * -> *).
    		          (c y z) -> (c x y) -> (c x z);
    
    This is occasionally useful.
    
    It turned out to be convenient to add the form
    
    	(type :: kind)
    
    to the syntax of types too, so you can put kind signatures in types as well.
