 Given the code below, `test1` and `test2` are the same except the former
 has an ambiguous type and the latter does not.  The compiler rejects the
 former and accepts the latter.

 {{{

 {-# LANGUAGE UndecidableSuperClasses #-}
 {-# LANGUAGE AllowAmbiguousTypes #-}

 class A (T a) => A a where
     type T a

 test1 :: forall a. A a => ()
 test1 = ()

 test2 :: A a => proxy a -> ()
 test2 _ = ()
