 really is violated.
 I'm looking at the error message with `-fprint-explicit-kinds` and I don't
 see how the coverage condition is violated here :-/
 {{{
 Illegal instance declaration for
   ‘Add * k * (Succ k a) b (Succ k ab)’
   The liberal coverage condition fails in class ‘Add’
     for functional dependency: ‘a b -> ab’
   Reason: lhs types ‘Succ k a’, ‘b’
     do not jointly determine rhs type ‘Succ k ab’
 In the instance declaration for ‘Add (Succ a) b (Succ ab)’
 }}}
 But if you say this is correct then I trust your judgement. Closing this
 ticket.
