{{{
 import Foreign.ForeignPtr
 data Foo = Foo {-# UNPACK #-} !(ForeignPtr)
 }}}

 Gives this error message:

 {{{
 foo.hs:3:15:
     `!!ForeignPtr' is not applied to enough type arguments
     Expected kind `?', but `!!ForeignPtr' has kind `* -> *'
     In the data type declaration for `Foo'
 }}}

 This error message is fine except for the {{{"!!"}}} bit.

 I guess this is a representation of the {{{ {-# UNPACK #-} }}} pragma. I
 don't think it's relevant for the error message so should probably not be
 included.

 Both 6.4.2 and current 6.5 do this.
