Comment (by simonpj):

 This is a Core Libraries Committee issue, right?

 As you point out, it's instance-specific (relevant for `MonadCont` but not
 for `Functor`, say.  So perhaps CLC should do as you implicitly suggest?
 I.e. change the relevant instances to
 {{{
 instance k ~ Type => MonadCont (ContT @k r m)
 }}}
 Of course, someone would have to do the homework to figure out what the
 "relevant" ones are.
