Comment (by basvandijk):
I guess Bryan added because it's the only required method to implement
since `toEncoding` is defined in terms of it.
However I just read in the GHC user guide that:
"If no MINIMAL pragma is given in the class declaration, it is just as if
a pragma {-# MINIMAL op1, op2, ..., opn #-} was given, where the opi are
the methods (a) that lack a default method in the class declaration..."
So this means we can just safely remove the pragma.
