Deriving for indexed data types

  but requires an extension of the syntax of standalone deriving clauses.
  Björn, fancy adding this?
- We cannot derive Typeable.  This seems a problem of notation, more than
  anything else.  Why?  For a binary vanilla data type "T a b", we would
  generate an instance Typeable2 T; ie, the instance is for the constructor
  alone.  In the case of a family instance, such as (S [a] (Maybe b)), we
  simply have no means to denote the associated constuctor.  It appears to
  require type level lambda - something like (/\a b. S [a] (Maybe b).
- Derivings are for *individual* family *instances*, not for entire families.
