Comment (by simonpj):

 Yes, but test `deriving/should_compile/T10561` still fails:
 {{{
 newtype Compose f g a = Compose (f (g a)) deriving Functor
 }}}
 (with `-XPolyKinds`) produces
 {{{
 T10561.hs:10:52: error:
     • Couldn't match kind ‘k’ with ‘*’
         arising from the first field of ‘Compose’ (type ‘f (g a)’)
     • When deriving the instance for (Functor (Compose f g))
 }}}
