Comment (by goldfire):

 OK. Then we can just reword the error message. :)

 Note that problem isn't that it's a GADT constructor. The problem is that
 it's a constrained constructor and constraints don't promote.

 Ryan, you find it far easier than I to actually get patches sent off --
 would you mind tweaking this message? Thanks!
