{{{
class Foo a
instance Show a => Num a => Foo a where
foo = undefined
}}}
results in
{{{
ghc: panic! (the 'impossible' happened)
(GHC version 7.4.2 for x86_64-unknown-linux):

}}}
It doesn't matter whether foo is declared in the class definition or not.
Things that work:
1. tuple-style context
2. not defining foo in the instance: Not crashing, but complaining about a
malformed head, which might or might not be the right thing to do,
considering
3.
{{{
foo :: Show a => Num a => a
foo = undefined
}}}
