Comment (by danilo2):

 And one more additional fact. We can implement what I want creating some
 boilerplate. I'm sure there should be way to avoid it (without using
 TemplateHaskell):
 {{{
 class BaseType a b | a -> b where
     baseType :: a -> b

 instance {-# OVERLAPPABLE #-} out ~ (Proxy a) => BaseType (Proxy a) out
 instance {-# OVERLAPPABLE #-} out ~ (Proxy a) => BaseType (Proxy (a t1))
 out
 instance {-# OVERLAPPABLE #-} out ~ (Proxy a) => BaseType (Proxy (a t1
 t2)) out
 instance {-# OVERLAPPABLE #-} out ~ (Proxy a) => BaseType (Proxy (a t1 t2
 t3)) out
 instance {-# OVERLAPPABLE #-} out ~ (Proxy a) => BaseType (Proxy (a t1 t2
 t3 t4)) out
 instance {-# OVERLAPPABLE #-} out ~ (Proxy a) => BaseType (Proxy (a t1 t2
 t3 t4 t5)) out
 ...
 }}}
