 > Does that help?

 Thank you Simon, that was the careful explanation I was searching for. I
 think I'm sold on this idea now.

 > Is this essentially the same ticket as #14332?  Can we combine?

 I'm not sure. Do we know for sure that the bug described in this ticket is
 caused by a deficient treatment of quantification in `deriving` clauses?
