Right, I got the notion — but syntactically I expect `Self` to refer to the thing named at the top of the block, which is a `Functor[A]`.
I think what both I and the sibling comment are getting at is that there is a difference between `Functor : (Self : * → *) → Class` and `Functor : (Self : * → *) → (A : *) → Class`/preapplied `Functor : (Self : *) → Class` and the syntax seems to merge the two (using syntax for the latter that is automatically abstracted to the former). But it's not clear to me that you can do that without losing the ability to express some things. The associated type is a pointed example because the unwanted dependence breaks type equality, but consider also an associated function that should _not_ be parameterized by `A`.
