Comment (by Iceland_jack):

 Replying to [comment:11 RyanGlScott]: I don't think you need quantified
 constraints (the ticket:14822#comment:3 trick does works to solve my
 previous comment), how about this:

 {{{#!hs
 instance Typeable f => Show (ExTyFam f) where
   show (MkExTyFam x)
     | Just HRefl <- typeRep @f `eqTypeRep` typeRep @(Proxy :: Type ->
 Type)
     = show x
     | otherwise
     = ..
 }}}
