app package:ghc

an application expression, see related appS
app f xs ==> f(xs)
Given a Type and a list of argument types to which the Type is applied, determine each argument's visibility (Inferred, Specified, or Required). Most of the time, the arguments will be Required, but not always. Consider f :: forall a. a -> Type. In f Type Bool, the first argument (Type) is Specified and the second argument (Bool) is Required. It is precisely this sort of higher-rank situation in which appTyForAllTyFlags comes in handy, since f Type Bool would be represented in Core using AppTys. (See also #15792).
Determines the type resulting from applying an expression with given type
