Comment (by phadej):

 goldfire: isn't situation a bit like

 {{{
 {-# LANGUAGE UndecidableInstances #-}
 {-# LANGUAGE FlexibleInstances #-}
 class MyEq a where
   myeq :: a -> a -> Bool

 class MyEq a => MyOrd a where
   mycomp :: a -> a -> Ordering

 class MyClass a where
   mydef :: a -> Bool

 instance MyOrd a => MyClass a where
   mydef x = myeq x x
 }}}

 This small example works though.

 i.e.

 by requiring ` All SListI xss =>` we also should get `SList xss` to use
 `sList`.

 Or I'm reading generics-sop code very wrong myself (it's not mine)?
