Find constraints over type

Dear GHC devs, I am trying to figure out a way to obtain the constraints that hold over a type. Let me give you an example: suppose that I write the following function: f :: Eq a => [a] -> Bool f xs = xs == [] If I ask for the type of the Var ' xs', I get back '[a]'. This is correct, but I am missing the crucial information that '[a]' must be Eq. Is there an easy way to get it? It seems that 'varType' doesn't give me enough information. Regards, Alejandro
