Comment (by RyanGlScott):

 Hm, I've hit a roadblock when trying to switch over to the scheme proposed
 in comment:5. Consider this code:

 {{{#!hs
 {-# LANGUAGE GeneralizedNewtypeDeriving #-}
 {-# LANGUAGE ImpredicativeTypes #-}
 {-# LANGUAGE KindSignatures #-}
 {-# LANGUAGE RankNTypes #-}
 {-# LANGUAGE ScopedTypeVariables #-}
 {-# LANGUAGE TypeApplications #-}
 {-# OPTIONS_GHC -ddump-deriv #-}
 module Bug where

 import Data.Coerce

 class C a where
   c :: Int -> forall b. b -> a

 instance C Int where
   c _ _ = 42

 newtype Age = MkAge Int

 -- This is what
 --
 --   deriving instance C Age
 --
 -- would generate:
 instance C Age where
   c = coerce @(             Int -> forall b. b -> a)
              c :: forall a. Int -> forall b. b -> a
 }}}

 This fails to typecheck:

 {{{

     • Couldn't match representation of type ‘forall b2. b2 -> a’
                                with that of ‘b1 -> a’
         arising from a use of ‘coerce’

           c = coerce @(Int -> forall b. b -> a) c ::

       In the instance declaration for ‘C Age’
    |
 26 |   c = coerce @(             Int -> forall b. b -> a)
    |       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^...
 }}}

 The same error occurs if I use `InstanceSigs`.

 Any ideas on how to make this work?
