Comment(by gidyn):

 This might be a better example:
 {{{
 data Eq a => Pair a = Pair {x::a, y::a}

 equal :: Pair a -> Bool
 equal pair = (x pair) == (y pair)
 }}}
 Is there any way you can avoid a redundant {{{Eq a =>}}} in the definition
 of {{{equal}}}, without adding a redundant pattern match?
