OK, the first parameter ("a") depends on the second ("v").

And this determines it: the first parameter must always be the same as 
the second.

This is incompatible with the previous instance declaration, since "a" 
is not the same as "c -> v". And any instance decl that were permitted 
by the fundep would in any case overlap.
