    Note [Grouping of type and class declarations]
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    tcTyAndClassDecls is called on a list of `TyClGroup`s. Each group is a strongly
    connected component of mutually dependent types and classes. We kind check and
    type check each group separately to enhance kind polymorphism. Take the
    following example:

      type Id a = a
      data X = X (Id Int)

    If we were to kind check the two declarations together, we would give Id the
    kind * -> *, since we apply it to an Int in the definition of X. But we can do
    better than that, since Id really is kind polymorphic, and should get kind
    forall (k::*). k -> k. Since it does not depend on anything else, it can be
    kind-checked by itself, hence getting the most general kind. We then kind check
    X, which works fine because we then know the polymorphic kind of Id, and simply
    instantiate k to *.

    Note [Check role annotations in a second pass]
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Role inference potentially depends on the types of all of the datacons declared
    in a mutually recursive group. The validity of a role annotation, in turn,
    depends on the result of role inference. Because the types of datacons might
    be ill-formed (see #7175 and Note [Checking GADT return types]) we must check
    *all* the tycons in a group for validity before checking *any* of the roles.
    Thus, we take two passes over the resulting tycons, first checking for general
    validity and then checking for valid role annotations.

    Note [Kind checking for type and class decls]
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Kind checking is done thus:

       1. Make up a kind variable for each parameter of the declarations,
          and extend the kind environment (which is in the TcLclEnv)

       2. Kind check the declarations

    We need to kind check all types in the mutually recursive group
    before we know the kind of the type variables.  For example:

      class C a where
         op :: D b => a -> b -> b

      class D c where
         bop :: (Monad c) => ...

    Here, the kind of the locally-polymorphic type variable "b"
    depends on *all the uses of class D*.  For example, the use of
    Monad c in bop's type signature means that D must have kind Type->Type.

    Note: we don't treat type synonyms specially (we used to, in the past);
    in particular, even if we have a type synonym cycle, we still kind check
    it normally, and test for cycles later (checkSynCycles).  The reason
    we can get away with this is because we have more systematic TYPE r
    inference, which means that we can do unification between kinds that
    aren't lifted (this historically was not true.)

    The downside of not directly reading off the kinds off the RHS of
    type synonyms in topological order is that we don't transparently
    support making synonyms of types with higher-rank kinds.  But
    you can always specify a CUSK directly to make this work out.
    See tc269 for an example.

    Open type families
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    This treatment of type synonyms only applies to Haskell 98-style synonyms.
    General type functions can be recursive, and hence, appear in `alg_decls'.

    The kind of an open type family is solely determinded by its kind signature;
    hence, only kind signatures participate in the construction of the initial
    kind environment (as constructed by `getInitialKind'). In fact, we ignore
    instances of families altogether in the following. However, we need to include
    the kinds of *associated* families into the construction of the initial kind
    environment. (This is handled by `allDecls').

    See also Note [Kind checking recursive type and class declarations]

    Note [How TcTyCons work]
    o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    TcTyCons are used for two distinct purposes

    1.  When recovering from a type error in a type declaration,
        we want to put the erroneous TyCon in the environment in a
        way that won't lead to more errors.  We use a TcTyCon for this;
        see makeRecoveryTyCon.

    2.  When checking a type/class declaration (in module TcTyClsDecls), we come
        upon knowledge of the eventual tycon in bits and pieces.

          S1) First, we use getInitialKinds to look over the user-provided
              kind signature of a tycon (including, for example, the number
              of parameters written to the tycon) to get an initial shape of
              the tycon's kind.  We record that shape in a TcTyCon.

          S2) Then, using these initial kinds, we kind-check the body of the
              tycon (class methods, data constructors, etc.), filling in the
              metavariables in the tycon's initial kind.

          S3) We then generalize to get the tycon's final, fixed
              kind. Finally, once this has happened for all tycons in a
              mutually recursive group, we can desugar the lot.

        For convenience, we store partially-known tycons in TcTyCons, which
        might store meta-variables. These TcTyCons are stored in the local
        environment in TcTyClsDecls, until the real full TyCons can be created
        during desugaring. A desugared program should never have a TcTyCon.

        A challenging piece in all of this is that we end up taking three separate
        passes over every declaration:
          - one in getInitialKind (this pass look only at the head, not the body)
          - one in kcTyClDecls (to kind-check the body)
          - a final one in tcTyClDecls (to desugar)
        In the latter two passes, we need to connect the user-written type
        variables in an LHsQTyVars with the variables in the tycon's
        inferred kind. Because the tycon might not have a CUSK, this
        matching up is, in general, quite hard to do.  (Look through the
        git history between Dec 2015 and Apr 2016 for
        TcHsType.splitTelescopeTvs!) Instead of trying, we just store the
        list of type variables to bring into scope, in the
        tyConScopedTyVars field of the TcTyCon.  These tyvars are brought
        into scope in kcTyClTyVars and tcTyClTyVars, both in TcHsType.

        In a TcTyCon, everything is zonked after the kind-checking pass (S2).

    -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    --        have to kind-check these all at once, since we can use
    --        the CUSK to initialize the kind environment.

    Note [Recursion and promoting data constructors]
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    We don't want to allow promotion in a strongly connected component
    when kind checking.

    Consider:
      data T f = K (f (K Any))

    When kind checking the `data T' declaration the local env contains the
    mappings:
      T -> ATcTyCon <some initial kind>
      K -> APromotionErr

    APromotionErr is only used for DataCons, and only used during type checking
    in tcTyClGroup.

    ************************************************************************

    Note [Type checking recursive type and class declarations]
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    At this point we have completed *kind-checking* of a mutually
    recursive group of type/class decls (done in kcTyClGroup). However,
    we discarded the kind-checked types (eg RHSs of data type decls);
    note that kcTyClDecl returns ().  There are two reasons:

      * It's convenient, because we don't have to rebuild a
        kinded HsDecl (a fairly elaborate type)

      * It's necessary, because after kind-generalisation, the
        TyCons/Classes may now be kind-polymorphic, and hence need
        to be given kind arguments.

    Example:
           data T f a = MkT (f a) (T f a)
    During kind-checking, we give T the kind T :: k1 -> k2 -> *
    and figure out constraints on k1, k2 etc. Then we generalise
    to get   T :: forall k. (k->*) -> k -> *
    So now the (T f a) in the RHS must be elaborated to (T k f a).

    However, during tcTyClDecl of T (above) we will be in a recursive
    "knot". So we aren't allowed to look at the TyCon T itself; we are only
    allowed to put it (lazily) in the returned structures.  But when
    kind-checking the RHS of T's decl, we *do* need to know T's kind (so
    that we can correctly elaboarate (T k f a).  How can we get T's kind
    without looking at T?  Delicate answer: during tcTyClDecl, we extend

      *Global* env with T -> ATyCon (the (not yet built) final TyCon for T)
      *Local*  env with T -> ATcTyCon (TcTyCon with the polymorphic kind of T)

    Then:

      * During TcHsType.kcTyVar we look in the *local* env, to get the
        known kind for T.

      * But in TcHsType.ds_type (and ds_var_app in particular) we look in
        the *global* env to get the TyCon. But we must be careful not to
        force the TyCon or we'll get a loop.

    This fancy footwork (with two bindings for T) is only necessary for the
    TyCons or Classes of this recursive group.  Earlier, finished groups,
    live in the global env only.

    See also Note [Kind checking recursive type and class declarations]

    Note [Kind checking recursive type and class declarations]
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Before we can type-check the decls, we must kind check them. This
    is done by establishing an "initial kind", which is a rather uninformed
    guess at a tycon's kind (by counting arguments, mainly) and then
    using this initial kind for recursive occurrences.

    The initial kind is stored in exactly the same way during kind-checking
    as it is during type-checking (Note [Type checking recursive type and class
    declarations]): in the *local* environment, with ATcTyCon. But we still
    must store *something* in the *global* environment. Even though we
    discard the result of kind-checking, we sometimes need to produce error
    messages. These error messages will want to refer to the tycons being
    checked, except that they don't exist yet, and it would be Terribly
    Annoying to get the error messages to refer back to HsSyn. So we
    create a TcTyCon and put it in the global env. This tycon can
    print out its name and knows its kind,
    but any other action taken on it will panic. Note
    that TcTyCons are *not* knot-tied, unlike the rather valid but
    knot-tied ones that occur during type-checking.

    Note [Declarations for wired-in things]
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    For wired-in things we simply ignore the declaration
    and take the wired-in information.  That avoids complications.
    e.g. the need to make the data constructor worker name for
         a constraint tuple match the wired-in one

    Consider this default declaration for an associated type

       class C a where
          type F (a :: k) b :: *
          type F x y = Proxy x -> y

    Note that the class variable 'a' doesn't scope over the default assoc
    decl (rather oddly I think), and (less oddly) neither does the second
    argument 'b' of the associated type 'F', or the kind variable 'k'.
    Instead, the default decl is treated more like a top-level type
    instance.

    However we store the default rhs (Proxy x -> y) in F's TyCon, using
    F's own type variables, so we need to convert it to (Proxy a -> b).
    We do this by calling tcMatchTys to match them up.  This also ensures
    that x's kind matches a's and similarly for y and b.  The error
    message isn't great, mind you.  (Trac #11361 was caused by not doing a
    proper tcMatchTys here.)  -}

     * Here we check that a type instance matches its kind signature, but we do

       check is only required for type synonym instances.

    Note [tc_fam_ty_pats vs tcFamTyPats]
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    tc_fam_ty_pats does the type checking of the patterns, but it doesn't
    zonk or generate any desugaring. It is used when kind-checking closed
    type families.

    tcFamTyPats type checks the patterns, zonks, and then calls thing_inside
    to generate a desugaring. It is used during type-checking (not kind-checking).

    Note [Type-checking type patterns]
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    When typechecking the patterns of a family instance declaration, we can't
    rely on using the family TyCon itself, because this is sometimes called
    from within a type-checking knot. (Specifically for closed type families.)
    The TcTyCon gives just enough information to do the job.

    See also Note [tc_fam_ty_pats vs tcFamTyPats]

    Note [Instantiating a family tycon]
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    It's possible that kind-checking the result of a family tycon applied to
    its patterns will instantiate the tycon further. For example, we might
    have

      type family F :: k where
        F = Int
        F = Maybe

    After checking (F :: forall k. k) (with no visible patterns), we still need
    to instantiate the k. With data family instances, this problem can be even
    more intricate, due to Note [Arity of data families] in FamInstEnv. See
    indexed-types/should_compile/T12369 for an example.

    So, the kind-checker must return both the new args (that is, Type
    (Type -> Type) for the equations above) and the instantiated kind.

    Because we don't need this information in the kind-checking phase of
    checking closed type families, we don't require these extra pieces of
    information in tc_fam_ty_pats. See also Note [tc_fam_ty_pats vs tcFamTyPats].

    Note [Failing early in kcDataDefn]
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    We need to use checkNoErrs when calling kcConDecl. This is because kcConDecl
    calls tcConDecl, which checks that the return type of a GADT-like constructor
    is actually an instance of the type head. Without the checkNoErrs, potentially
    two bad things could happen:

     1) Duplicate error messages, because tcConDecl will be called again during
        *type* checking (as opposed to kind checking)
     2) If we just keep blindly forging forward after both kind checking and type
        checking, we can get a panic in rejigConRes. See Trac #8368.

    Note [Constraints in patterns]
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    NB: This isn't the whole story. See comment in tcFamTyPats.

    At first glance, it seems there is a complicated story to tell in tcFamTyPats
    around constraint solving. After all, type family patterns can now do
    GADT pattern-matching, which is jolly complicated. But, there's a key fact
    which makes this all simple: everything is at top level! There cannot
    be untouchable type variables. There can't be weird interaction between
    case branches. There can't be global skolems.

    This means that the semantics of type-level GADT matching is a little
    different than term level. If we have

      data G a where
        MkGBool :: G Bool

    And then

      type family F (a :: G k) :: k
      type instance F MkGBool = True

    we get

      axF : F Bool (MkGBool <Bool>) ~ True

    Simple! No casting on the RHS, because we can affect the kind parameter
    to F.

    If we ever introduce local type families, this all gets a lot more
    complicated, and will end up looking awfully like term-level GADT
    pattern-matching.

    ** The new story **

    Here is really what we want:

    The matcher really can't deal with covars in arbitrary spots in coercions.
    But it can deal with covars that are arguments to GADT data constructors.
    So we somehow want to allow covars only in precisely those spots, then use
    them as givens when checking the RHS. TODO (RAE): Implement plan.

    Note [Quantifying over family patterns]
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    We need to quantify over two different lots of kind variables:

    First, the ones that come from the kinds of the tyvar args of
    tcTyVarBndrsKindGen, as usual
      data family Dist a

      -- Proxy :: forall k. k -> *
      data instance Dist (Proxy a) = DP
      -- Generates  data DistProxy = DP
      --            ax8 k (a::k) :: Dist * (Proxy k a) ~ DistProxy k a
      -- The 'k' comes from the tcTyVarBndrsKindGen (a::k)

    Second, the ones that come from the kind argument of the type family
    which we pick up using the (tyCoVarsOfTypes typats) in the result of
    the thing_inside of tcHsTyvarBndrsGen.
      -- Any :: forall k. k
      data instance Dist Any = DA
      -- Generates  data DistAny k = DA
      --            ax7 k :: Dist k (Any k) ~ DistAny k
      -- The 'k' comes from kindGeneralizeKinds (Any k)

    Note [Quantified kind variables of a family pattern]
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Consider   type family KindFam (p :: k1) (q :: k1)
               data T :: Maybe k1 -> k2 -> *
               type instance KindFam (a :: Maybe k) b = T a b -> Int
    The HsBSig for the family patterns will be ([k], [a])

    Then in the family instance we want to
      * Bring into scope [ "k" -> k:*, "a" -> a:k ]
      * Kind-check the RHS
      * Quantify the type instance over k and k', as well as a,b, thus
           type instance [k, k', a:Maybe k, b:k']
                         KindFam (Maybe k) k' a b = T k k' a b -> Int

    Notice that in the third step we quantify over all the visibly-mentioned
    type variables (a,b), but also over the implicitly mentioned kind variables
    (k, k').  In this case one is bound explicitly but often there will be
    none. The role of the kind signature (a :: Maybe k) is to add a constraint
    that 'a' must have that kind, and to bring 'k' into scope.

    Note [Infix GADT constructors]
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    We do not currently have syntax to declare an infix constructor in GADT syntax,
    but it makes a (small) difference to the Show instance.  So as a slightly
    ad-hoc solution, we regard a GADT data constructor as infix if
      a) it is an operator symbol
      b) it has two arguments
      c) there is a fixity declaration for it
    For example:
       infix 6 (:--:)
       data T a where
         (:--:) :: t1 -> t2 -> T Int

    Note [Checking GADT return types]
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    There is a delicacy around checking the return types of a datacon. The
    central problem is dealing with a declaration like

      data T a where
        MkT :: T a -> Q a

    Note that the return type of MkT is totally bogus. When creating the T
    tycon, we also need to create the MkT datacon, which must have a "rejigged"
    return type. That is, the MkT datacon's type must be transformed to have
    a uniform return type with explicit coercions for GADT-like type parameters.
    This rejigging is what rejigConRes does. The problem is, though, that checking
    that the return type is appropriate is much easier when done over *Type*,
    not *HsType*, and doing a call to tcMatchTy will loop because T isn't fully
    defined yet.

    So, we want to make rejigConRes lazy and then check the validity of
    the return type in checkValidDataCon.  To do this we /always/ return a
    6-tuple from rejigConRes (so that we can compute the return type from it, which
    checkValidDataCon needs), but the first three fields may be bogus if
    the return type isn't valid (the last equation for rejigConRes).

    This is better than an earlier solution which reduced the number of
    errors reported in one pass.  See Trac #7175, and #10836.

    {- Note [mkGADTVars]
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Running example:

    data T (k1 :: *) (k2 :: *) (a :: k2) (b :: k2) where
      MkT :: forall (x1 : *) (y :: x1) (z :: *).
             T x1 * (Proxy (y :: x1), z) z

    We need the rejigged type to be

      MkT :: forall (x1 :: *) (k2 :: *) (a :: k2) (b :: k2).
             forall (y :: x1) (z :: *).
             (k2 ~ *, a ~ (Proxy x1 y, z), b ~ z)
          => T x1 k2 a b

    You might naively expect that z should become a universal tyvar,
    not an existential. (After all, x1 becomes a universal tyvar.)
    But z has kind * while b has kind k2, so the return type
       T x1 k2 a z
    is ill-kinded.  Another way to say it is this: the universal
    tyvars must have exactly the same kinds as the tyConTyVars.

    So we need an existential tyvar and a heterogeneous equality
    constraint. (The b ~ z is a bit redundant with the k2 ~ * that
    comes before in that b ~ z implies k2 ~ *. I'm sure we could do
    some analysis that could eliminate k2 ~ *. But we don't do this
    yet.)

    The data con signature has already been fully kind-checked.
    The return type

      T x1 * (Proxy (y :: x1), z) z
    becomes
      qtkvs    = [x1 :: *, y :: x1, z :: *]
      res_tmpl = T x1 * (Proxy x1 y, z) z

    We start off by matching (T k1 k2 a b) with (T x1 * (Proxy x1 y, z) z). We
    know this match will succeed because of the validity check (actually done
    later, but laziness saves us -- see Note [Checking GADT return types]).
    Thus, we get

      subst := { k1 |-> x1, k2 |-> *, a |-> (Proxy x1 y, z), b |-> z }

    Now, we need to figure out what the GADT equalities should be. In this case,
    we *don't* want (k1 ~ x1) to be a GADT equality: it should just be a
    renaming. The others should be GADT equalities. We also need to make
    sure that the universally-quantified variables of the datacon match up
    with the tyvars of the tycon, as required for Core context well-formedness.
    (This last bit is why we have to rejig at all!)

    `choose` walks down the tycon tyvars, figuring out what to do with each one.
    It carries two substitutions:
      - t_sub's domain is *template* or *tycon* tyvars, mapping them to variables
        mentioned in the datacon signature.
      - r_sub's domain is *result* tyvars, names written by the programmer in
        the datacon signature. The final rejigged type will use these names, but
        the subst is still needed because sometimes the printed name of these variables
        is different. (See choose_tv_name, below.)

    Before explaining the details of `choose`, let's just look at its operation
    on our example:

      choose [] [] {} {} [k1, k2, a, b]
      -->          -- first branch of `case` statement
      choose
        univs:    [x1 :: *]
        eq_spec:  []
        t_sub:    {k1 |-> x1}
        r_sub:    {x1 |-> x1}
        t_tvs:    [k2, a, b]
      -->          -- second branch of `case` statement
      choose
        univs:    [k2 :: *, x1 :: *]
        eq_spec:  [k2 ~ *]
        t_sub:    {k1 |-> x1, k2 |-> k2}
        r_sub:    {x1 |-> x1}
        t_tvs:    [a, b]
      -->          -- second branch of `case` statement
      choose
        univs:    [a :: k2, k2 :: *, x1 :: *]
        eq_spec:  [ a ~ (Proxy x1 y, z)
                  , k2 ~ * ]
        t_sub:    {k1 |-> x1, k2 |-> k2, a |-> a}
        r_sub:    {x1 |-> x1}
        t_tvs:    [b]
      -->          -- second branch of `case` statement
      choose
        univs:    [b :: k2, a :: k2, k2 :: *, x1 :: *]
        eq_spec:  [ b ~ z
                  , a ~ (Proxy x1 y, z)
                  , k2 ~ * ]
        t_sub:    {k1 |-> x1, k2 |-> k2, a |-> a, b |-> z}
        r_sub:    {x1 |-> x1}
        t_tvs:    []
      -->          -- end of recursion
      ( [x1 :: *, k2 :: *, a :: k2, b :: k2]
      , [k2 ~ *, a ~ (Proxy x1 y, z), b ~ z]
      , {x1 |-> x1} )

    `choose` looks up each tycon tyvar in the matching (it *must* be matched!).

    * If it finds a bare result tyvar (the first branch of the `case`
      statement), it checks to make sure that the result tyvar isn't yet
      in the list of univ_tvs.  If it is in that list, then we have a
      repeated variable in the return type, and we in fact need a GADT
      equality.

    * It then checks to make sure that the kind of the result tyvar
      matches the kind of the template tyvar. This check is what forces
      `z` to be existential, as it should be, explained above.

    * Assuming no repeated variables or kind-changing, we wish to use the
      variable name given in the datacon signature (that is, `x1` not
      `k1`), not the tycon signature (which may have been made up by
      GHC). So, we add a mapping from the tycon tyvar to the result tyvar
      to t_sub.

    * If we discover that a mapping in `subst` gives us a non-tyvar (the
      second branch of the `case` statement), then we have a GADT equality
      to create.  We create a fresh equality, but we don't extend any
      substitutions. The template variable substitution is meant for use
      in universal tyvar kinds, and these shouldn't be affected by any
      GADT equalities.

    This whole algorithm is quite delicate, indeed. I (Richard E.) see two ways
    of simplifying it:

    1) The first branch of the `case` statement is really an optimization, used
    in order to get fewer GADT equalities. It might be possible to make a GADT
    equality for *every* univ. tyvar, even if the equality is trivial, and then
    either deal with the bigger type or somehow reduce it later.

    2) This algorithm strives to use the names for type variables as specified
    by the user in the datacon signature. If we always used the tycon tyvar
    names, for example, this would be simplified. This change would almost
    certainly degrade error messages a bit, though.

    Note [Substitution in template variables kinds]
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    data G (a :: Maybe k) where
      MkG :: G Nothing

    With explicit kind variables

    data G k (a :: Maybe k) where
      MkG :: G k1 (Nothing k1)

    Note how k1 is distinct from k. So, when we match the template
    `G k a` against `G k1 (Nothing k1)`, we get a subst
    [ k |-> k1, a |-> Nothing k1 ]. Even though this subst has two
    mappings, we surely don't want to add (k, k1) to the list of
    GADT equalities -- that would be overly complex and would create
    more untouchable variables than we need. So, when figuring out
    which tyvars are GADT-like and which aren't (the fundamental
    job of `choose`), we want to treat `k` as *not* GADT-like.
    Instead, we wish to substitute in `a`'s kind, to get (a :: Maybe k1)
    instead of (a :: Maybe k). This is the reason for dealing
    with a substitution in here.

    However, we do not *always* want to substitute. Consider

    data H (a :: k) where
      MkH :: H Int

    With explicit kind variables:

    data H k (a :: k) where
      MkH :: H * Int

    Here, we have a kind-indexed GADT. The subst in question is
    [ k |-> *, a |-> Int ]. Now, we *don't* want to substitute in `a`'s
    kind, because that would give a constructor with the type

    MkH :: forall (k :: *) (a :: *). (k ~ *) -> (a ~ Int) -> H k a

    The problem here is that a's kind is wrong -- it needs to be k, not *!
    So, if the matching for a variable is anything but another bare variable,
    we drop the mapping from the substitution before proceeding. This
    was not an issue before kind-indexed GADTs because this case could
    never happen.

    {- Note [Recover from validity error]
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    We recover from a validity error in a type or class, which allows us
    to report multiple validity errors. In the failure case we return a
    TyCon of the right kind, but with no interesting behaviour
    (makeRecoveryTyCon). Why?  Suppose we have
       type T a = Fun
    where Fun is a type family of arity 1.  The RHS is invalid, but we
    want to go on checking validity of subsequent type declarations.
    So we replace T with an abstract TyCon which will do no harm.
    See indexed-types/should_fail/BadSock and Trac #10896

    Painfully, though, we *don't* want to do this for classes.
    Consider tcfail041:
       class (?x::Int) => C a where ...
       instance C Int
    The class is invalid because of the superclass constraint.  But
    we still want it to look like a /class/, else the instance bleats
    that the instance is mal-formed because it hasn't got a class in
    the head.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Haskell 2010 is supposed to reject
      class C a where
        op :: Eq a => a -> a
    where the method type costrains only the class variable(s).  (The extension
    -XConstrainedClassMethods switches off this check.)  But regardless
    we should not reject
      class C a where
        op :: (?x::Int) => a -> a
    as pointed out in Trac #11793. So the test here rejects the program if
      * -XConstrainedClassMethods is off
      * the tyvars of the constraint are non-empty
      * all the tyvars are class tyvars, none are locally quantified

    We must avoid doing the ambiguity check for the methods (in
    checkValidClass.check_op) when there are already errors accumulated.
    This is because one of the errors may be a superclass cycle, and
    superclass cycles cause canonicalization to loop. Here is a
    representative example:

      class D a => C a where
        meth :: D a => ()
      class C a => D a

    This fixes Trac #9415, #9739

    Note [Default method type signatures must align]
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    GHC enforces the invariant that a class method's default type signature
    must "align" with that of the method's non-default type signature, as per
    GHC Trac #12918. For instance, if you have:

      class Foo a where
        bar :: forall b. Context => a -> b

    Then a default type signature for bar must be alpha equivalent to
    (forall b. a -> b). That is, the types must be the same modulo differences in
    contexts. So the following would be acceptable default type signatures:

        default bar :: forall b. Context1 => a -> b
        default bar :: forall x. Context2 => a -> x

    But the following are NOT acceptable default type signatures:

        default bar :: forall b. b -> a
        default bar :: forall x. x
        default bar :: a -> Int

    Note that a is bound by the class declaration for Foo itself, so it is
    not allowed to differ in the default type signature.

    The default type signature (default bar :: a -> Int) deserves special mention,
    since (a -> Int) is a straightforward instantiation of (forall b. a -> b). To
    write this, you need to declare the default type signature like so:

        default bar :: forall b. (b ~ Int). a -> b

    As noted in #12918, there are several reasons to do this:

    1. It would make no sense to have a type that was flat-out incompatible with
       the non-default type signature. For instance, if you had:

         class Foo a where
           bar :: a -> Int
           default bar :: a -> Bool

       Then that would always fail in an instance declaration. So this check
       nips such cases in the bud before they have the chance to produce
       confusing error messages.

    2. Internally, GHC uses TypeApplications to instantiate the default method in
       an instance. See Note [Default methods in instances] in TcInstDcls.
       Thus, GHC needs to know exactly what the universally quantified type
       variables are, and when instantiated that way, the default method's type
       must match the expected type.

    3. Aesthetically, by only allowing the default type signature to differ in its
       context, we are making it more explicit the ways in which the default type
       signature is less polymorphic than the non-default type signature.

    You might be wondering: why are the contexts allowed to be different, but not
    the rest of the type signature? That's because default implementations often
    rely on assumptions that the more general, non-default type signatures do not.
    For instance, in the Enum class declaration:

        class Enum a where
          enum :: [a]
          default enum :: (Generic a, GEnum (Rep a)) => [a]
          enum = map to genum

        class GEnum f where
          genum :: [f a]

    The default implementation for enum only works for types that are instances of
    Generic, and for which their generic Rep type is an instance of GEnum. But
    clearly enum doesn't _have_ to use this implementation, so naturally, the
    context for enum is allowed to be different to accomodate this. As a result,
    when we validity-check default type signatures, we ignore contexts completely.

    Note that when checking whether two type signatures match, we must take care to
    split as many foralls as it takes to retrieve the tau types we which to check.
    See Note [Splitting nested sigma types in class type signatures].

    Note [Splitting nested sigma types in class type signatures]
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Consider this type synonym and class definition:

      type Traversal s t a b = forall f. Applicative f => (a -> f b) -> s -> f t

      class Each s t a b where
        each         ::                                      Traversal s t a b
        default each :: (Traversable g, s ~ g a, t ~ g b) => Traversal s t a b

    It might seem obvious that the tau types in both type signatures for `each`
    are the same, but actually getting GHC to conclude this is surprisingly tricky.
    That is because in general, the form of a class method's non-default type
    signature is:

      forall a. C a => forall d. D d => E a b

    And the general form of a default type signature is:

      forall f. F f => E a f -- The variable `a` comes from the class

    So it you want to get the tau types in each type signature, you might find it
    reasonable to call tcSplitSigmaTy twice on the non-default type signature, and
    call it once on the default type signature. For most classes and methods, this
    will work, but Each is a bit of an exceptional case. The way `each` is written,
    it doesn't quantify any additional type variables besides those of the Each
    class itself, so the non-default type signature for `each` is actually this:

      forall s t a b. Each s t a b => Traversal s t a b

    Notice that there _appears_ to only be one forall. But there's actually another
    forall lurking in the Traversal type synonym, so if you call tcSplitSigmaTy
    twice, you'll also go under the forall in Traversal! That is, you'll end up
    with:

      (a -> f b) -> s -> f t

    A problem arises because you only call tcSplitSigmaTy once on the default type
    signature for `each`, which gives you

      Traversal s t a b

    Or, equivalently:

      forall f. Applicative f => (a -> f b) -> s -> f t

    This is _not_ the same thing as (a -> f b) -> s -> f t! So now tcMatchTy will
    say that the tau types for `each` are not equal.

    A solution to this problem is to use tcSplitNestedSigmaTys instead of
    tcSplitSigmaTy. tcSplitNestedSigmaTys will always split any foralls that it
    sees until it can't go any further, so if you called it on the default type
    signature for `each`, it would return (a -> f b) -> s -> f t like we desired.

    Note [Checking partial record field]
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    This check checks the partial record field selector, and warns (Trac #7169).

    For example:

      data T a = A { m1 :: a, m2 :: a } | B { m1 :: a }

    The function 'm2' is partial record field, and will fail when it is applied to
    'B'. The warning identifies such partial fields. The check is performed at the
    declaration of T, not at the call-sites of m2.

    The warning can be suppressed by prefixing the field-name with an underscore.
    For example:

      data T a = A { m1 :: a, _m2 :: a } | B { m1 :: a }
