This patch modifies the renamer to respect ScopedTypeVariables in kind signatures. This means that kind variables bound by the outermost `forall` now scope over the type: type F = '[Right @a @() () :: forall a. Either a ()] -- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^ -- in scope here bound here However, any use of such variables is a type error, because we don't have type-level lambdas to bind them in Core. This is described in the new Note [Type variable scoping errors during type check] in GHC.Tc.Types.
