Comment (by danilo2):
@simon, I understand this note (to some degree) and its motivation. In its
example it makes perfect sense not to throw an overlap error and compile
just fine. But in my example it is just wrong nad I dont see any reason
for it (maybe I dont understand something here). Anyway – when I create:
{{{
instance Run m Int where
run = test
}}}
It could be possible that I wanted to choose the `Test IM a` as
constraint. It could be possible and it would make sense here. Exactly the
same sense as the second option available. Why is GHC just blindly
choosing one option and throwing a very misguiding error to the user?
