Pretty-printing of the * kind
Before this patch, GHC always printed the * kind unparenthesized.
This led to two issues:
1. Sometimes GHC printed invalid or incorrect code.
For example, GHC would print: type F @* x = x
when it meant to print: type F @(*) x = x
In the former case, instead of a kind application we were getting a
type operator (@*).
2. Sometimes GHC printed kinds that were correct but hard to read.
Should Either * Int be read as Either (*) Int
or as (*) Either Int ?
This depends on whether -XStarIsType is enabled, but it would be
easier if we didn't have to check for the flag when reading the code.
We can solve both problems by assigning (*) a different precedence. Note
that Haskell98 kinds are not affected:
((* -> *) -> *) -> * does NOT become (((*) -> (*)) -> (*)) -> (*)
The parentheses are added when (*) is used in a function argument
position:
F * * * becomes F (*) (*) (*)
F A * B becomes F A (*) B
Proxy * becomes Proxy (*)
a * -> * becomes a (*) -> *
