Description

Hi,

I haven't found a ticket mentioning linear type support and hoogle search shows strange results for query such as: :: a %1 -> a or :: a ->. a.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported Hoogle searches :: a %1 -> a and :: a ->. a, then trace how Hoogle parses and searches type signatures. Done means linear-type syntax produces sensible search results rather than the strange results reported here.
