Comment (by dreixel):
I agree that it's not a good idea to mention `$gdmreflexive` in the error
message.
But I don't think the error should be replaced by a warning. If there are
no default signatures we don't get any errors or warnings:
{{{
class C a where
reflexive :: Eq a => a -> Bool
reflexive x = x == x
data D
instance C D
}}}
So perhaps that's what we should do in this case, too.
