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.
