-- 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.
