Comment (by Lemming):

 Replying to [comment:6 bgamari]:
 > It doesn't seem unreasonable to me to require users writing code like
 `asTypeOf1` to explicitly disable this warning. At the moment this can
 only be done on with module-level granularity but hopefully in the future
 we will have [[Design/LocalWarningPragmas|mechanisms]] for silencing
 warnings with greater precision.

 If would prefer to disable the warning per constraint. E.g. I could wrap a
 not strictly needed constraint in a magic {{{Used :: Constraint ->
 Constraint}}}. However, this would not be possible in Haskell 98.
