Is there any strong reason why the where clause in an instance declaration cannot declare anything other than class operators? If not, I suggest relaxing the restriction.
It is not unusual for declarations of class operators to refer to special auxiliary functions. Under current rules such functions have to be declared outside the scope in which they are used.
