Comment (by goldfire):
It seems that those of us who have hacked on GHC in the past have a hard
time understanding this proposal -- which, to me, looks either unsound (if
implemented simply) or very complicated (adding the ability to ''return''
a constraint). If you want this to be considered, please write up a wiki
page with detailed examples and types. Also, suggest how this feature
should be implemented, in terms of a translation to GHC's core language.
It currently all seems a little magical. Thanks!
