 {{{#!hs
 {-# LANGUAGE InstanceSigs, TypeFamilies #-}

 class C a where
   type T a
   m :: T a

 instance C Int where
   type T Int = String
   m :: String
   m = "bla"

 -- Method signature does not match class; it should be m :: T Int
 --    In the instance declaration for ‘C Int’
 }}}

 As {{{T Int}}} is a synonym of {{{String}}}, {{{m :: String}}} should be a
 valid type signature alternative to {{{m :: T Int}}}
