 Perhaps there's a way to do this that I don't know about.

 Here's a file:
 {{{
 module Test where

 class C a where
   foo :: a -> String

 instance C Int where
   -- this would be a parse error: {-# SCC foo #-}
   foo a = show a
 }}}

 I want to put a cost center on `foo`. Like mentioned in the comment, doing
 that in the obvious way is a parse error.

 Interestingly `-fprof-auto-top` puts a cost center on `foo`.

 This came up when debugging #14637.
