Well interesting. The fusion requires second order polymorphism,
which Felix doesn't support: polymorphic functions can't be
passed as values (only instances of them).

The funny thing is the reduction rule does NOT actually require
a run time polymorphic function, but still seems to require second
order overloading to typecheck.
