 This code panics on GHC 8.2.1 and later:

 import GHC.TypeLits

 newtype Baz = Baz Foo
   deriving Bar

 newtype Foo = Foo Int

 class Bar a where
   bar :: a

 instance (TypeError (Text "Boo")) => Bar Foo where
   bar = undefined
 }}}

 This is a regression since GHC 8.0.2, in which it does compile
 successfully.
