obj/haskell2/Proof_default.hs:177:0:
Functional dependencies conflict between instance declarations:

t Expr))

Expr))

}}}
It has listed three items that conflict, but two of the items are actually
the same. I would expect the error message to {{{nub}}} the list of
instances first. Sample file attached. This bug may have been fixed in
HEAD, with the recent warnings patch, but I cannot check (not enough disk
space!).
