>From the user manual, it sounds like a clause of a closed type family should >be rejected once no subsitution of the type could make it unify with the >clause. If so, it doesn't seem to do an occurs check:
type family IsEq a b :: Bool where IsEq a a = True IsEq a b = False > :kind! forall a . IsEq a a forall a . IsEq a a :: Bool = forall (a :: k). 'True > :kind! forall a . IsEq a [a] forall a . IsEq a [a] :: Bool = forall a. IsEq a [a] I came across this while trying to using Generics to find the immediate children of a term - this sort of non-reduction happens while comparing a type like (Term var) with a constructor argument of type var.
