Comment(by simonpj):
You're right. And arguably `newtype deriving` should work with at
suitably-simple AT. Given
{{{
class C a where
type F a :: <kind>
newtype T a b c = MkT <reptype> deriving( C )
}}}
we should generate an instance looking like
{{{
instance C <reptype> => C (T a b c) where
F (T a b c) = F <reptype>
}}}
That's another new extension to the (already complex) `newtype deriving`,
but people will surely be asking for it before long!
