Given the following:
{{{
class C a where
f :: a -> a
instance (Eq a, C a) => C a
test = f True
}}}
hugs -98 reports
{{{
ERROR "Silly.hs" -
*** The type checker has reached the cutoff limit while trying to
*** determine whether:
*** Eq Bool
*** can be deduced from:
*** ()
*** This may indicate that the problem is undecidable. However,
*** you may still try to increase the cutoff limit using the -c
*** option and then try again. (The current setting is -c40)
}}}
when in fact it is trying to solve `C Bool`.
