Comment (by rwbarton):
FWIW this isn't a regression, 7.8 fails with the same error and 7.6 bails
out even earlier. And isn't 7.10's behavior in fact the correct one? The
instance produced by 7.11 is ill-kinded:
{{{
instance [safe] forall (k :: BOX) (f :: k -> *) (g :: * -> k).
(Functor f, Functor g) =>
Functor (Compose f g)
}}}
`Functor`'s argument must really be of kind `* -> *`. (Though I don't know
if this will cause any harm beyond confusing error messages down the
line.)
