This is a prototype exploring parser support for higher-kinded type parameters (
<F<_>>syntax), along with an RFC document laying out a phased approach to full HKT support.Parser changes recognize type parameters that are themselves generic. The RFC covers syntax design, kind inference, and how checker integration would work in a follow-up.
Included test cases cover the patterns people typically want HKTs for: Functor, Monad, Bifunctor, natural transformations.
This is intentionally scoped to parser + design — checker integration is a separate, much larger effort.
