Comment (by RyanGlScott):

 Replying to [comment:6 goldfire]:
 > This simply doesn't happen with constraints, so we avoid the challenge.

 Really? Is there some sort of invariant in GHC that upholds this claim?
 You can certainly have `x :: ty` where `ty :: Constraint` in Core, so this
 claim is quite surprising to me.
