                General notes
        ----------------------------

Generally speaking we now type-check types in three phases

  1.  kcHsType: kind check the HsType
        *includes* performing any TH type splices;
        so it returns a translated, and kind-annotated, type

  2.  dsHsType: convert from HsType to Type:
        perform zonking
        expand type synonyms [mkGenTyApps]
        hoist the foralls [tcHsType]

  3.  checkValidType: check the validity of the resulting type

Often these steps are done one after the other (tcHsSigType).
But in mutually recursive groups of type and class decls we do
        1 kind-check the whole group
        2 build TyCons/Classes in a knot-tied way
        3 check the validity of types in the now-unknotted TyCons/Classes

For example, when we find
        (forall a m. m a -> m a)
we bind a,m to kind varibles and kind-check (m a -> m a).  This makes
a get kind *, and m get kind *->*.  Now we typecheck (m a -> m a) in
an environment that binds a and m suitably.

The kind checker passed to tcHsTyVars needs to look at enough to
establish the kind of the tyvar:
  * For a group of type and class decls, it's just the group, not
        the rest of the program
  * For a tyvar bound in a pattern type signature, its the types
        mentioned in the other type signatures in that bunch of patterns
  * For a tyvar bound in a RULE, it's the type signatures on other
        universally quantified variables in the rule

Note that this may occasionally give surprising results.  For example:

        data T a b = MkT (a b)

Here we deduce                  a::*->*,       b::*
But equally valid would be      a::(*->*)-> *, b::*->*


Validity checking
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Some of the validity check could in principle be done by the kind checker,
but not all:

- During desugaring, we normalise by expanding type synonyms.  Only
  after this step can we check things like type-synonym saturation
  e.g.  type T k = k Int
        type S a = a
  Then (T S) is ok, because T is saturated; (T S) expands to (S Int);
  and then S is saturated.  This is a GHC extension.

- Similarly, also a GHC extension, we look through synonyms before complaining
  about the form of a class or instance declaration

- Ambiguity checks involve functional dependencies, and it's easier to wait
  until knots have been resolved before poking into them

Also, in a mutually recursive group of types, we can't look at the TyCon until we've
finished building the loop.  So to keep things simple, we postpone most validity
checking until step (3).

Knot tying
~~~~~~~~~~
During step (1) we might fault in a TyCon defined in another module, and it might
(via a loop) refer back to a TyCon defined in this module. So when we tie a big
knot around type declarations with ARecThing, so that the fault-in code can get
the TyCon being defined.

        First a couple of simple wrappers for kcHsType

\begin{code}

    do { ty <- tcCheckHsTypeAndGen hs_ty liftedTypeKind

tcHsConArgType DataType bty = tcHsOpenType (getBangType bty)
  -- Can't allow an unlifted type for newtypes, because we're effectively
  -- going to remove the constructor while coercing it to a lifted type.
  -- And newtypes can't be bang'd

---------------------------
tcHsArgTys :: SDoc -> [LHsType Name] -> [Kind] -> TcM [TcType]
tcHsArgTys what tys kinds
  = sequence [ addTypeCtxt ty $
               tc_lhs_type ty (expArgKind what kind n)

tc_hs_arg_tys what tys kinds
  = sequence [ tc_lhs_type ty (expArgKind what kind n)
             | (ty,kind,n) <- zip3 tys kinds [1..] ]

---------------------------
tcHsOpenType, tcHsLiftedType :: LHsType Name -> TcM TcType

tcHsOpenType ty   = addTypeCtxt ty $ tc_lhs_type ty ekOpen
tcHsLiftedType ty = addTypeCtxt ty $ tc_lhs_type ty ekLifted

-- Like tcHsType, but takes an expected kind
tcCheckLHsType :: LHsType Name -> Kind -> TcM Type

    tc_lhs_type hs_ty (EK exp_kind expectedKindMsg)

---------------------------
tcCheckHsTypeAndGen :: HsType Name -> Kind -> TcM Type

Like tcExpr, tc_hs_type takes an expected kind which it unifies with
the kind it figures out. When we don't know what kind to expect, we use
tc_lhs_type_fresh, to first create a new meta kind variable and use that as
the expected kind.

tc_fun_type ty ty1 ty2 exp_kind@(EK _ ctxt)
  = do { ty1' <- tc_lhs_type ty1 (EK openTypeKind ctxt)

       ; return (mkFunTy ty1' ty2') }

------------------------------------------

tc_hs_type (HsParTy ty)        exp_kind = tc_lhs_type ty exp_kind

Note [Zonking inside the knot]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Suppose we are checking the argument types of a data constructor.  We
must zonk the types before making the DataCon, because once built we
can't change it.  So we must traverse the type.

BUT the parent TyCon is knot-tied, so we can't look at it yet.

So we must be careful not to use "smart constructors" for types that
look at the TyCon or Class involved.

  * Hence the use of mkNakedXXX functions. These do *not* enforce
    the invariants (for example that we use (FunTy s t) rather
    than (TyConApp (->) [s,t])).

  * Ditto in zonkTcType (which may be applied more than once, eg to
    squeeze out kind meta-variables), we are careful not to look at
    the TyCon.

  * We arrange to call zonkSigType *once* right at the end, and it
    does establish the invariants.  But in exchange we can't look
    at the result (not even its structure) until we have emerged
    from the "knot".

  * TcHsSyn.zonkTcTypeToType also can safely check/establish
    invariants.

This is horribly delicate.  I hate it.  A good example of how
delicate it is can be seen in Trac #7903.

\begin{code}
mkNakedTyConApp :: TyCon -> [Type] -> Type

--   * without being strict in TyCon,
--   * without satisfying the invariants of TyConApp
-- A subsequent zonking will establish the invariants

mkNakedAppTys ty1                []   = ty1
mkNakedAppTys (TyConApp tc tys1) tys2 = mkNakedTyConApp tc (tys1 ++ tys2)
mkNakedAppTys ty1                tys2 = foldl AppTy ty1 tys2

zonkSigType :: TcType -> TcM TcType
-- Zonk the result of type-checking a user-written type signature
-- It may have kind variables in it, but no meta type variables
-- Because of knot-typing (see Note [Zonking inside the knot])
-- it may need to establish the Type invariants;
-- hence the use of mkTyConApp and mkAppTy
zonkSigType ty
  = go ty
  where
    go (TyConApp tc tys) = do tys' <- mapM go tys
                              return (mkTyConApp tc tys')
                -- Key point: establish Type invariants!

    go (FunTy arg res)   = do arg' <- go arg

                              return (FunTy arg' res')

    go (AppTy fun arg)   = do fun' <- go fun
                              arg' <- go arg
                              return (mkAppTy fun' arg')
                -- NB the mkAppTy; we might have instantiated a
                -- type variable to a type constructor, so we need
                -- to pull the TyConApp to the top.

        -- The two interesting cases!
    go (TyVarTy tyvar) | isTcTyVar tyvar = zonkTcTyVar tyvar
                       | otherwise       = TyVarTy <$> updateTyVarKindM go tyvar
                -- Ordinary (non Tc) tyvars occur inside quantified types

    go (ForAllTy tv ty) = do { tv' <- zonkTcTyVarBndr tv
                             ; ty' <- go ty
                             ; return (ForAllTy tv' ty') }
\end{code}

Note [Body kind of a forall]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The body of a forall is usually a type, but in principle
there's no reason to prohibit *unlifted* types.
In fact, GHC can itself construct a function with an
unboxed tuple inside a for-all (via CPR analyis; see
typecheck/should_compile/tc170).

Moreover in instance heads we get forall-types with
kind Constraint.

Moreover if we have a signature
   f :: Int#
then we represent it as (HsForAll Implicit [] [] Int#).  And this must
be legal!  We can't drop the empty forall until *after* typechecking
the body because of kind polymorphism:
   Typeable :: forall k. k -> Constraint
   data Apply f t = Apply (f t)
   -- Apply :: forall k. (k -> *) -> k -> *
   instance Typeable Apply where ...
Then the dfun has type
   df :: forall k. Typeable ((k->*) -> k -> *) (Apply k)

   f :: Typeable Apply

   f :: forall (t:k->*) (a:k).  t a -> t a

   class C a b where
      op :: a b -> Typeable Apply

   data T a = MkT (Typeable Apply)
            | T2 a
      T :: * -> *
      MkT :: forall k. (Typeable ((k->*) -> k -> *) (Apply k)) -> T a

   f :: (forall (k:BOX). forall (t:: k->*) (a:k). t a -> t a) -> Int
   f :: (forall a. a -> Typeable Apply) -> Int

So we *must* keep the HsForAll on the instance type
   HsForAll Implicit [] [] (Typeable Apply)
so that we do kind generalisation on it.

Really we should check that it's a type of value kind
{*, Constraint, #}, but I'm not doing that yet
Example that should be rejected:
         f :: (forall (a:*->*). a) Int

Note [Inferring tuple kinds]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Give a tuple type (a,b,c), which the parser labels as HsBoxedOrConstraintTuple,
we try to figure out whether it's a tuple of kind * or Constraint.
  Step 1: look at the expected kind
  Step 2: infer argument kinds

If after Step 2 it's not clear from the arguments that it's
Constraint, then it must be *.  Once having decided that we re-check
the Check the arguments again to give good error messages
in eg. `(Maybe, Maybe)`

Note that we will still fail to infer the correct kind in this case:

  type T a = ((a,a), D a)
  type family D :: Constraint -> Constraint

While kind checking T, we do not yet know the kind of D, so we will default the
kind of T to * -> *. It works if we annotate `a` with kind `Constraint`.

Note [Desugaring types]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The type desugarer is phase 2 of dealing with HsTypes.  Specifically:

  * It transforms from HsType to Type

  * It zonks any kinds.  The returned type should have no mutable kind
    or type variables (hence returning Type not TcType):
      - any unconstrained kind variables are defaulted to AnyK just
        as in TcHsSyn.
      - there are no mutable type variables because we are
        kind-checking a type
    Reason: the returned type may be put in a TyCon or DataCon where
    it will never subsequently be zonked.

You might worry about nested scopes:
        ..a:kappa in scope..
            let f :: forall b. T '[a,b] -> Int
In this case, f's type could have a mutable kind variable kappa in it;
and we might then default it to AnyK when dealing with f's type
signature.  But we don't expect this to happen because we can't get a
lexically scoped type variable with a mutable kind variable in it.  A
delicate point, this.  If it becomes an issue we might need to
distinguish top-level from nested uses.

Moreover
  * it cannot fail,
  * it does no unifications
  * it does no validity checking, except for structural matters, such as
        (a) spurious ! annotations.
        (b) a class used as a type

Note [Kind of a type splice]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Consider these terms, each with TH type splice inside:
     [| e1 :: Maybe $(..blah..) |]
     [| e2 :: $(..blah..) |]
When kind-checking the type signature, we'll kind-check the splice
$(..blah..); we want to give it a kind that can fit in any context,
as if $(..blah..) :: forall k. k.

In the e1 example, the context of the splice fixes kappa to *.  But
in the e2 example, we'll desugar the type, zonking the kind unification
variables as we go.  When we encounter the unconstrained kappa, we
want to default it to '*', not to AnyK.

\end{code}

Note [Kind generalisation]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We do kind generalisation only at the outer level of a type signature.
For example, consider
  T :: forall k. k -> *
  f :: (forall a. T a -> Int) -> Int
When kind-checking f's type signature we generalise the kind at
the outermost level, thus:
  f1 :: forall k. (forall (a:k). T k a -> Int) -> Int  -- YES!
and *not* at the inner forall:
  f2 :: (forall k. forall (a:k). T k a -> Int) -> Int  -- NO!
Reason: same as for HM inference on value level declarations,
we want to infer the most general type.  The f2 type signature
would be *less applicable* than f1, because it requires a more
polymorphic argument.

Note [Kinds of quantified type variables]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
tcTyVarBndrsGen quantifies over a specified list of type variables,
*and* over the kind variables mentioned in the kinds of those tyvars.

Note that we must zonk those kinds (obviously) but less obviously, we
must return type variables whose kinds are zonked too. Example
    (a :: k7)  where  k7 := k9 -> k9
We must return
    [k9, a:k9->k9]
and NOT
    [k9, a:k7]
Reason: we're going to turn this into a for-all type,
   forall k9. forall (a:k7). blah
which the type checker will then instantiate, and instantiate does not
look through unification variables!

Hence using zonked_kinds when forming tvs'.

Note [Avoid name clashes for associated data types]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Consider    class C a b where
               data D b :: * -> *
When typechecking the decl for D, we'll invent an extra type variable
for D, to fill out its kind.  Ideally we don't want this type variable
to be 'a', because when pretty printing we'll get
            class C a b where
               data D b a0
(NB: the tidying happens in the conversion to IfaceSyn, which happens
as part of pretty-printing a TyThing.)

That's why we look in the LocalRdrEnv to see what's in scope. This is
important only to get nice-looking output when doing ":info C" in GHCi.
It isn't essential for correctness.

tcAddScopedTyVars is used for scoped type variables added by pattern
type signatures
        e.g.  \ ((x::a), (y::a)) -> x+y
They never have explicit kinds (because this is source-code only)
They are mutable (because they can get bound to a more specific type).

Usually we kind-infer and expand type splices, and then
tupecheck/desugar the type.  That doesn't work well for scoped type
variables, because they scope left-right in patterns.  (e.g. in the
example above, the 'a' in (y::a) is bound by the 'a' in (x::a).

The current not-very-good plan is to
  * find all the types in the patterns
  * find their free tyvars
  * do kind inference
  * bring the kinded type vars into scope
  * BUT throw away the kind-checked type
        (we'll kind-check it again when we type-check the pattern)

This is bad because throwing away the kind checked type throws away
its splices.  But too bad for now.  [July 03]

Historical note:
    We no longer specify that these type variables must be univerally
    quantified (lots of email on the subject).  If you want to put that
    back in, you need to
        a) Do a checkSigTyVars after thing_inside
        b) More insidiously, don't pass in expected_ty, else
           we unify with it too early and checkSigTyVars barfs
           Instead you have to pass in a fresh ty var, and unify
           it with expected_ty afterwards

Note [Pattern signature binders]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Consider
   data T = forall a. T a (a->Int)
   f (T x (f :: a->Int) = blah)

Here
 * The pattern (T p1 p2) creates a *skolem* type variable 'a_sk',
   It must be a skolem so that that it retains its identity, and
   TcErrors.getSkolemInfo can thereby find the binding site for the skolem.

 * The type signature pattern (f :: a->Int) binds "a" -> a_sig in the envt

 * Then unificaiton makes a_sig := a_sk

That's why we must make a_sig a MetaTv (albeit a SigTv),
not a SkolemTv, so that it can unify to a_sk.

For RULE binders, though, things are a bit different (yuk).
  RULE "foo" forall (x::a) (y::[a]).  f x y = ...
Here this really is the binding site of the type variable so we'd like
to use a skolem, so that we get a complaint if we unify two of them
together.

Note [Unifying SigTvs]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ALAS we have no decent way of avoiding two SigTvs getting unified.
Consider
  f (x::(a,b)) (y::c)) = [fst x, y]
Here we'd really like to complain that 'a' and 'c' are unified. But
for the reasons above we can't make a,b,c into skolems, so they
are just SigTvs that can unify.  And indeed, this would be ok,
  f x (y::c) = case x of
                 (x1 :: a1, True) -> [x,y]
                 (x1 :: a2, False) -> [x,y,y]
Here the type of x's first component is called 'a1' in one branch and
'a2' in the other.  We could try insisting on the same OccName, but
they definitely won't have the sane lexical Name.

I think we could solve this by recording in a SigTv a list of all the
in-scope varaibles that it should not unify with, but it's fiddly.

tcLHsKind converts a user-written kind to an internal, sort-checked kind.
It does sort checking and desugaring at the same time, in one single pass.
It fails when the kinds are not well-formed (eg. data A :: * Int), or if there
are non-promotable or non-fully applied kinds.
