Comment (by nomeata):
I still believe that people should be free to write non-law-abiding
instances (or maybe law-abiding up to some interface), and the compiler
should not interfere with that.
We should simply suggest them to add a `fmap coerce = coerce` rule for
their particular fmap if they care.
