Comment (by AntC):

 Ooh-er. I've just seen that Type Families also use the
 `UndecidableInstances` flag.
 https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/8.2.2/docs/html/users_guide/glasgow_exts.html
 #type-family-decidability

 The whole idea of making the flag per-instance is that we avoid putting a
 blanket flag on a whole module. So implementing this ticket needs a per-
 type-family-instance pragma as well as a per-class-instance(?). Then for
 Closed Type Families: is that a pragma for the whole family decl, or per-
 equation? yeuch.
