 Spotted this while reading the source code to tidyNPat. It looked dubious
 to me, and indeed it is:

 {{{
 {-# OPTIONS_GHC -XOverloadedStrings #-}
 module Main where

 import Data.String

 instance IsString Int where
         fromString x = 1337

 f :: Int -> String
 f "hello" = "correct"
 f _       = "false"

 main = do
         print $ f 1337
         print $ f 1338
 }}}

 Result:

 {{{
 mbolingbr...@mb566 ~/Programming/Checkouts
 $ ghc --make Boog.hs
 [1 of 1] Compiling Main             ( Boog.hs, Boog.o )
 ghc: panic! (the 'impossible' happened)
   (GHC version 6.10.3 for i386-apple-darwin):
         tidyNPat
 }}}
