This code from [https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/wp-
content/uploads/2016/02/jfp-outsidein.pdf OutsideIn(X)] compiles
{{{#!hs
{-# Language FlexibleInstances, MultiParamTypeClasses, GADTs,
QuantifiedConstraints #-}
class C a
class B a b where op :: a -> b
instance C a => B a [a] where op = undefined
data R a where
MkR :: C a => a -> R a
k :: (C a => B a b) => R a -> b
k (MkR x) = op x
}}}
but pretty-printing `k` prints `B a b => ..` instead of `(C a => B a b) =>
..`
