Comment (by edsko):

 After adding the required role annotation to `Serializable`, this works:

 {{{#!hs
 instance (Typeable a, SC (Serializable a)) => SC (Serializable (MyList a))
 where
   dict = coerce (dict :: Static (Dict (Serializable [a])))
 }}}

 but the standalone deriving clause still gives the same error as reported
 above.
