+-- Type checking with unboxed kinds fails when (->) is used in a prefix way
+
+module ShouldSucceed where
+import GHC.Base
+
+f :: (->) Int# Int#
+f x = x
+
+
+-- Here's the comment from TypeRep:
+--
+-- funTyCon = mkFunTyCon funTyConName
+-- (mkArrowKinds [liftedTypeKind, liftedTypeKind]
+-- liftedTypeKind)
+-- You might think that (->) should have type (? -> ? -> *), and you'd be right
+-- But if we do that we get kind errors when saying
+-- instance Control.Arrow (->)
+-- becuase the expected kind is (*->*->*). The trouble is that the
+-- expected/actual stuff in the unifier does not go contra-variant, whereas
+-- the kind sub-typing does. Sigh. It really only matters if you use (->) in
+-- a prefix way, thus: (->) Int# Int#. And this is unusual.
