為什么在GHC 7.10中進行類型檢查的代碼不再在GHC 8.0.1中進行類型檢查？

Question

我有以下代碼：

{-# LANGUAGE DefaultSignatures#-}

import Control.Monad.Trans.Class
import Control.Monad.Trans.Maybe

class Monad m => MonadMaybe m where
  liftMaybe :: Maybe a -> m a
  default liftMaybe :: (MonadTrans t, MonadMaybe m) => Maybe a -> t m a
  liftMaybe = lift . liftMaybe

instance MonadMaybe m => MonadMaybe (MaybeT m)

使用Glorious Glasgow Haskell編譯系統，版本8.0.1.20161117，無法編譯：

foo.hs:11:10: error:
    • Couldn't match type ‘m’ with ‘MaybeT m’
      ‘m’ is a rigid type variable bound by
        the instance declaration at foo.hs:11:10
      Expected type: Maybe a -> MaybeT m a
        Actual type: Maybe a -> MaybeT (MaybeT m) a
    • In the expression: Main.$dmliftMaybe @MaybeT m
      In an equation for ‘liftMaybe’:
          liftMaybe = Main.$dmliftMaybe @MaybeT m
      In the instance declaration for ‘MonadMaybe (MaybeT m)’
    • Relevant bindings include
        liftMaybe :: Maybe a -> MaybeT m a (bound at foo.hs:11:10)

但是在GHC 7.10中，編譯沒有問題。

GHC 8是正確的，還是我發現了一個錯誤？

盡管GHC 7.10接受了它，但你的代碼實際上沒有任何意義。 有關討論，請參閱https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12784 。
