 The code for `mkAtDefault` is as follows.

 {{{#!hs
 mkATDefault (L loc (TyFamInstDecl { tfid_eqn = L _ e }))
       | TyFamEqn { tfe_tycon = tc, tfe_pats = pats, tfe_rhs = rhs } <- e
       = do { tvs <- checkTyVars (ptext (sLit "default")) equalsDots tc
 (hswb_cts pats)
            ; return (L loc (TyFamEqn { tfe_tycon = tc
                                      , tfe_pats = tvs
                                      , tfe_rhs = rhs })) }
 }}}

 An associated type in a class of the form

 {{{#!hs
   type FoldableConstraint t x = ()
 }}}

 has an `AnnEqual` attached to the location in `tfid_eqn`. Since the
 location is discarded, this annotation is then disconnected from the AST.
