GADTs?

data CompletePathEv p where CompletePathEv :: CompletePath p => CompletePathEv p

class Path p => IncompletePath p where
    type CompletedPath p :: *
    completedPathEv :: CompletePathEv (CompletedPath p)

Later you can pattern-match on completedPathEv and get your CompletePath instance back.

Consider the following:

class Path p => CompletePath p where ...

class Path p => IncompletePath p where

Obviously, the idea is that CompletedPath Foo (where Foo is an IncompletePath) should yield some type which is a CompletePath. However, the source code does not actually state this, so GHC (rightly) complains that it was unable to deduce this constraint from the actual code written.

Is it possible to state this constraint? If so, how? (And if not, the answer, presumably, is to fundamentally redesign the whole thing...)
