 revision="0050aff22ba04baca732bf5124002417ab667f8a"
 Fix scoping of type variables in instances

 This fixes Trac #12531:

    class Foo x where
      foo :: forall a . x a -> x a
      default foo :: forall b . x b -> x b
      foo x = go
        where go :: x b
              go = undefined

 We want 'b' to scope over the code for 'foo', but we were
 using 'a' instead.
