Ah, this solves the problem! Almost.

I have an instance like this one:

instance (Natural n) => Num.Integer (Un n) where
     type Repr (Un _n) = Unary


GHC-7.6.3 and GHC-7.4.2 complain:
     Type indexes must match class instance head
     Found `Un _n' but expected `Un n'
     In the type synonym instance declaration for `Num.Repr'
     In the instance declaration for `Num.Integer (Un n)'


GHC-7.8.4, GHC-7.10.3 and GHC-8.0 are happy with the difference.
