Comment (by simonpj):

 > The current implementation is very impressive. If something seem
 unworkable there is surprisingly often some way to guide (trick) GHC into
 accepting it

 Well that is good news, thanks.  I hope you are going to write a paper to
 explain the uses of quantified constraints; and in there we can explore
 the boundaries and he way to guide GHC.
