<p class="MsoNormal">Okay, this makes sense then. However, note that the GHC User’s manual<br>
mixes the terminology (“kind” vs. “sort”) at one point:<br>
<br>
Note that List, for instance, does not get kind BOX -> BOX, because<br>
we do not further classify kinds; all kinds have sort BOX.<br>
<br>

<br>
I think, it should say “sort BOX -> BOX”.<o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
Yes, it should indeed say "sort", not "kind". If you know of any other places in the documentation with this type/kind/sort of inconsistency, please let me know :-)<br>
<br>
