Comment (by goldfire):

 I agree that would be very ad-hoc, but I wasn't quite thinking of doing
 the inference in the solver. Instead, we could do it in !TcDerivInfer by
 anticipating the need for role-based implication constraint and then
 providing it. It would still be ad-hoc, but it would have company, as much
 of the `deriving` code is very ad-hoc.
