This patch implements @k-binders introduced in GHC Proposal #425 and guarded behind the TypeAbstractions extension: type D :: forall k j. k -> j -> Type data D @k @j a b = ... ^^ ^^ To represent the new syntax, we modify LHsQTyVars as follows: - hsq_explicit :: [LHsTyVarBndr () pass] + hsq_explicit :: [LHsTyVarBndr (HsBndrVis pass) pass] HsBndrVis is a new data type that records the distinction between type variable binders written with and without the @ sign: data HsBndrVis pass = HsBndrRequired | HsBndrInvisible (LHsToken "@" pass) The rest of the patch updates GHC, template-haskell, and haddock to handle the new syntax. Parser: The PsErrUnexpectedTypeAppInDecl error message is removed. The syntax it used to reject is now permitted. Renamer: The @ sign does not affect the scope of a binder, so the changes to the renamer are minimal. See rnLHsTyVarBndrVisFlag. Type checker: There are three code paths that were updated to deal with the newly introduced invisible type variable binders: 1. checking SAKS: see kcCheckDeclHeader_sig, matchUpSigWithDecl 2. checking CUSK: see kcCheckDeclHeader_cusk 3. inference: see kcInferDeclHeader, rejectInvisibleBinders Helper functions bindExplicitTKBndrs_Q_Skol and bindExplicitTKBndrs_Q_Tv are generalized to work with HsBndrVis. Updates the haddock submodule. Metric Increase: MultiLayerModulesTH_OneShot Co-authored-by:
