 This code has a bug (lowercase show instead of uppercase Show), but it
 shouldn't make the compiler crash.

 {{{
 {-# LANGUAGE FlexibleInstances, MultiParamTypeClasses, FlexibleContexts,
 UndecidableInstances #-}

 data Person = SnowWhite | Dwarf Int deriving (show, Eq, Ord)
 }}}

 Result:


 {{{
 ghc: panic! (the 'impossible' happened)
   (GHC version 7.4.2 for i386-unknown-mingw32):
         nameModule show{tv avGJ}

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