Comment(by simonpj):
UI suggestion. I suggest that
* `:info C` never mentions instances of C
* `:instance C` describes all instances involving C
There's also a current bug which is that we don't currently report type-
family instance at all.
I personally dislike the "-" syntax; very un-discoverable.
