Comment(by simonpj):

 What do you want?
  * Do not emit such warnings at all

  * Emit only if a flag says so (curent the flag is `-fwarn-missing-
 methods` but we could be more specific, `-fwarm-missing-ats`, I suppose

  * See if there's a top level instance (in this module? imported?). I
 rather not do this; it seems too non-local to me, and would be significant
 effort.

 Maybe an assocaited type isn't the right thing for this case?  And it's
 only a warning!

 Simon
