 In the attached code the following lines give an internal GHC error. At
 least this should not happen. I also think this is valid code. Removing
 either type annotation makes this code compile.

 {{{
 bug :: WrappedR Int -> SomeFunction
 bug (Wrap node) = case node of
   (Memo' (emptyT :: t a b) memoize (Var m) :: R' a b Int) -> -- also
 breaks
 }}}
