Comment:

 Good point.  I've tightened up the ambiguity check for instance
 declarations.  Now you'll get an ambiguous declaration error from the
 above.

Comment(by simonpj):

 Actually I was mixed up. The ambiguity fix would reject this instance, but
 the original question was about scoped type variables.  The trouble is
 that this is a perfectly legal program ''without'' scoped type variables,
 with the 'n' meaning forall n. n.  I'm not sure how to improve this.
