But there are other examples where this would be useful. e.g. `mtl` uses functional dependencies rather than type families, because the fundep versions of the type signatures are always less verbose
Can you give concrete examples? -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11534#comment:11 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
