The basic issue has been solved in another thread, but wouldn't you
want this one to be something like this:

instance Coercible a => Coercible (MyOption a) where
    type Return (MyOption a) = Prelude.Maybe (Return a)
    toHaskell (Some a) = Prelude.Just (toHaskell a)
    toHaskell None = Prelude.Nothing
