This works with the

the -XQuantifiedConstraints branch].
{{{#!hs
{-# Language QuantifiedConstraints, FlexibleInstances,
MultiParamTypeClasses, AllowAmbiguousTypes, RankNTypes, PolyKinds,
ConstraintKinds, UndecidableInstances #-}
class (forall xx. (xx => a) => Implies xx b) => F a b
instance (forall xx. (xx => a) => Implies xx b) => F a b
class (a => b) => Implies a b
instance (a => b) => Implies a b
}}}
but replacing `Implies xx b` with `(xx => b)` causes it to fail. I don't
know if the cause of this overlaps with an existing ticket.
