Fundeps and quantified constructors

[nubie nubie]

So I want to have a polymorphic Collection type, just because.

> class Collection c e | c -> e where
>   empty :: c
>   put   :: c -> e -> c

> data SomeCollection e = forall c . Collection c e => MakeSomeCollection c

Hugs (February 2000) doesn't like it. It says
  Variable "e" in constraint is not locally bound

I feel that e *is* bound, sort of, because c is bound and there's a
fundep c->e. Who's wrong, me or Hugs?

The following things work as expected:

> data IntCollection = forall c . Collection c Int => MakeIntCollection c
> data AnyCollection = forall c e . Collection c e => MakeAnyCollection c
