 As pointed out in comment:4:ticket:15351, the section in the manual on
 `-XQuantifiedConstraints` says that an `=>` is essential in a quantified
 constraint. However, the following is accepted:

 {{{#!hs
 class C a

 foo :: (forall x. C x) => ()
 foo = ()
 }}}

 Note that there is no `=>` in the quantified constraint. We need to update
 the manual accordingly.
