Now the `FromDhall` and `ToDhall` instances both use unnamed arguments in their type signature. The value of this type is not used on type level so it is not necessary to bring it into scope here. On the value level this obviously is still necessary but that part is untouched regarding this commit.

I noticed that the
FromDhallandToDhallinstance ofFixdon't use the exact same definition of the type. Sure they are judgementally equal, but why not make them syntactically equal aswell?In particular the use of the named argument in the pi type
"Make"is not the same. I personally think the best solution is to remove the name of this function, becauseMakeis not used in the return type of the pi type anyways. This is what I'm doing in this commit.Alternatively you could also change the
"_"to"Make"here:dhall-haskell/dhall/src/Dhall/Marshal/Encode.hs
Line 537 in f48fda9
That way both types would include the name
Make.
