This is useful, like you said, for abstract types.

Previously if you had the line
type A<a> = ait would cause the lsp to crash as we didn't handle the case of= ain oprint, this corrects the implementation to prevent the crash.I am slightly wondering if we should even allow this behaviour. I came across this behaviour with low level grain bassically taking advantage of it to create a completely abstract type and am only submitting a fix because nothing prevents a user from doing it currently however I don't really see any real world use case for this syntax.
