Comment (by RyanGlScott):
This doesn't strike me as a very good idea, for a simple reason: it's
quite possible you might also have `instance SIEVE I (->)` in scope, which
might behave differently from `instance Sieve Identity (->)`. Allowing
this sort of thing would make deriving with MPTCs very unpredictable.
