Comment (by andreas.abel):

 This makes for a nice exploit:
 {{{#!hs
 -- {-# LANGUAGE CPP #-}
 {-# LANGUAGE TemplateHaskell #-} -- for quickCheckAll

 import Test.QuickCheck.All

 infixl 6 %
 infixl 6 %\  -- Was this the correct fixity?

 (%) :: Int -> Int -> Int
 x % y = x - y

 (%\) :: Int -> Int -> Int
 x %\ y = (x + 1) - y

 prop_by_def x y =
   (x + 1) %
     y
   == x %\
        y

 return [] -- TH hack

 main = $quickCheckAll
 }}}
 Uncomment the CPP pragma and quickCheck again!
