Comment (by 0xd34df00d):

 Thanks for getting to my report!

 Seems like `reifyInstances`'s documentation could also be slightly
 improved: it's not entirely obvious from it right now that it can/should
 be used to get the list of instances for a data type. Indeed, for the
 above example, how does one use it to get something about `Eq, Ord, Show`
 without knowing a priori that those are the classes that `Foo` implements?
