Still confusing, but less so.

The problem is that it's really backwards. The symbol being defined is "Eq".

Eq (Expr t) (Expr t) | Eq t = Expr Bool

but that doesn't fit well, does it? In my mind, the current mode is a
functional one:

Eq :: Eq t => Expr t -> Expr t -> Expr Bool

And this is perfectly readable. The arrow means that the argument is
an implicit propositional one, but it's still an argument.
