What would 'Eq -> Eq -> Ord -> Bool' mean?
MQK> '(Eq a, Eq b, Ord c) => a -> b -> c -> Bool'?
MQK>       '(Eq a, Ord b) => a -> a -> b -> Bool'?
MQK>       '(Eq a, Ord a) => a -> a -> a -> Bool'?

as i stated in the post, the one class name instantiates one variable.
so the proper variant will be second

i know that this syntax can't substitute ALL possible uses of
preconsitions, it's just for most common, in my sense. moreover, it
will help to convert currently used types to classes, and to easily
refactor user programs back and forth between using types and classes
