Comment (by dolio):

 Having conferred with Ed, I guess GHC uses a different strategy that
 doesn't involve (proper) skolem variables, so it might not be subject to
 my complaint. Using some kind of after-the-fact distinctness check instead
 of proper skolems seems not to arbitrarily rule out certain definitions in
 a confusing manner, which was my main concern.
