This patch implements part 1 of GHC Proposal #281, introducing explicit `type` patterns and `type` arguments. Summary of the changes: 1. New extension flag: RequiredTypeArguments 2. New user-facing syntax: `type p` patterns (represented by EmbTyPat) `type e` expressions (represented by HsEmbTy) 3. Functions with required type arguments (visible forall) can now be defined and applied: idv :: forall a -> a -> a -- signature (relevant change: checkVdqOK in GHC/Tc/Validity.hs) idv (type a) (x :: a) = x -- definition (relevant change: tcPats in GHC/Tc/Gen/Pat.hs) x = idv (type Int) 42 -- usage (relevant change: tcInstFun in GHC/Tc/Gen/App.hs) 4. template-haskell support: TH.TypeE corresponds to HsEmbTy TH.TypeP corresponds to EmbTyPat 5. Test cases and a new User's Guide section Changes *not* included here are the t2t (term-to-type) transformation and term variable capture; those belong to part 2.
