Comment(by diatchki):
Hello,
I hadn't seen this ticket but I run into exactly the same problem and
implemented the ":info!" functionality, which simply shows all instances
that GHCi currently knows about by simply disabling the filtering. It
seems to work reasonably well and avoids the extremely puzzling situation
where we know that an instance is available because the methods work, but
GHCi does not show the instance.
