In the past having:
{-# OPTIONS -fallow-overlapping-instances #-}in a module was enough to get ghci to allow the overlaps.
so we do:
ghci Test.hs
now it does not work (but it did in 6.3), but:
ghci -fallow-overlapping-instances Test.hs
does... Even it Test.hs is the top level module.

You have a pragma "-fallow-overlapping-instances" in Test.hs, and indeed it is honoured when compiling Test.hs. But it's not taken into account when compiling top-level expressions, or, indeed, if you were to import Test into another module.
If you say ":set -falllow-overlapping-instances" it'll work fine.
Now, maybe you'd like the flag to attach permanently to the *instance*,
so that if an instance decl is compiled with
-fallow-overlapping-instances, then no complaint will ever be issued for
its overlaps, even if it is imported into a module that doesn't have
-fallow-overlapping-instances. That would make sense, I think, but it's
not implemented and never has been.
