+Note [Deriving context]
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+With -fglasgow-exts, we allow things like (C Int a) in the simplified
+context for a derived instance declaration, because at a use of this
+instance, we might know that a=Bool, and have an instance for (C Int
+Bool)
+
+We nevertheless insist that each predicate meets the termination
+conditions. If not, the deriving mechanism generates larger and larger
+constraints. Example:
+ data Succ a = S a
+ data Seq a = Cons a (Seq (Succ a)) | Nil deriving Show
+
+Note the lack of a Show instance for Succ. First we'll generate
+ instance (Show (Succ a), Show a) => Show (Seq a)
+and then
+ instance (Show (Succ (Succ a)), Show (Succ a), Show a) => Show (Seq a)
+and so on. Instead we want to complain of no instance for (Show (Succ a)).
