Comment (by Iceland_jack):

 Should this not be allowed when `minBound :: () -> a` is allowed?

 {{{#!hs
 class Bounded (TYPE rep) where
   minBound :: a
   minBound :: a
 }}}

 for

 {{{#!hs
 instance Bounded Int# where
   minBound :: Int#
   minBound = -9223372036854775808#

   maxBound :: Int#
   maxBound = 9223372036854775807#
 }}}
