New description:

 Some combination of newtypes and infix operators is causing GHCi to panic.

 Steps to reproduce:

 1. Open a fresh GHCi session.
 2. Define `Cont`: `newtype Cont a r = Cont {(>>-) :: (a -> r) -> r}`
 3. Define a `Functor` instance for `Cont`: `instance Functor (Cont r)
 where fmap f c = Cont $ \k -> c >>>- f . k`
 4. Observe the following:

 {{{
 ghc: panic! (the 'impossible' happened)
   (GHC version 8.0.2 for x86_64-unknown-linux):
         get_op >>>-

 Please report this as a GHC bug:  http://www.haskell.org/ghc/reportabug

 }}}
