Hrmm. This seems to render product kinds rather useless, as there is no way to refine the code to reflect the knowledge that they are inhabited by a single constructor. =( For instance, there doesn't even seem to be a way to make the following code compile, either. {-# LANGUAGE PolyKinds,

I ran into this same issue in my own experimentation: if a type variable x has a kind with only one constructor K, GHC does not supply the equality x ~ K y for some fresh type variable y. Perhaps it should. I too had to use similar workarounds to what you have come up with. One potential

Same question. Do you expect the code below to type-check? I have stripped it down to essentials. Currently it’s rejected with Couldn't match type `a' with '(,) k k1 b0 d0 And that seems reasonable, doesn’t it? After all, in the defn of bidStar, (:*) returns a value of type Star x

It is both perfectly reasonable and unfortunately useless. :( The problem is that the more polymorphic type isn't any more polymorphic, since (ideally) the product kind (a,b) is only inhabited by things of the form '(x,y). The product kind has a single constructor. But there is no way to express

Try translating into System FC! It’s not just a question of what the type checker will pass; we also have to produce a well-typed FC program. Remember that (putting in all the kind abstractions and applications: Thrist :: forall i. ((i,i) - *) - (i,i) - * (:*) :: forall i j k. forall (a:
