 Replying to [comment:6 bgamari]:

 arguably wrong and I've opened #11582 for this case. This is almost
 certainly not the last example of this sort that we will find.

 I just re-checked: ghci-8.0.0.20160214 warns with -fwarn-redundant-
 constraints but not with -Wall.
 That is, -fwarn-redundant-constraints is no longer part of -Wall? But this
 is the subject of this ticket.
