------------------------------ Towards kinded data type decls ------------------------------ Move towards being able to have 'kinded' data type decls. The burden of this commit, though, is to tidy up the parsing of data type decls. Previously we had data ctype '=' constrs where the 'ctype' is a completetely general polymorphic type. forall a. (Eq a) => T a Then a separate function checked that it was of a suitably restricted form. The reason for this is the usual thing --- it's hard to tell when looking at data Eq a => T a = ... whether you are reading the data type or the context when you have only got as far as 'Eq a'. However, the 'ctype' trick doesn't work if we want to allow data T (a :: * -> *) = ... So we have to parse the data type decl in a more serious way. That's what this commit does, and it makes the grammar look much nicer. The main new producion is tycl_hdr.
