---------------------------------------+------------------------------------
Consider the following code for defining Atkey-style parameterised monads:
{{{
{-# LANGUAGE
PolyKinds
#-}
class PMonad m where
ret :: a -> m i i a
bind :: m i j a -> (a -> m j k b) -> m i k b
class PMonad' (m :: i -> i -> * -> *) where
ret' :: a -> m i i a
bind' :: m i j a -> (a -> m j k b) -> m i k b
}}}
The following types are inferred for {{{ret}}} and {{{ret'}}}:
{{{
*Main> :t ret
ret :: PMonad * m => a -> m i i a
*Main> :t ret'
ret' :: PMonad' m => a -> m BOX BOX a
}}}
But {{{ret'}}} should have the former type.
