Comment (by aaronvargo):

 So I guess what I want is for the given `a => F b` (in `foo`) to be
 replaced with the givens:

 {{{
 a => x
 x ~ F b
 }}}

 (as in `qux`) and for the given

 {{{#!hs
 forall a. Ob (Dom f) a => Ob (Cod f) (f a)
 }}}

 to be replaced with:

 {{{#!hs
 forall a. Ob (Dom f) a => Ob x (f a)
 x ~ Cod f
 }}}

 or something like that.
