Hi, I have the following code that builds successfully with "stack build" under GHC 8.10.7 but fails to build under GHC 9.0.1: https://github.com/jchia/ip-bug The compiler is switched by commenting/uncommenting the compiler line in stack.yaml. GHC 9.0.1 gives me the error I paste at the end. Is this expected (maybe as part of "simplified subsumtion" in https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/wikis/migration/9.0#compiler-changes)? If so, how can the code be fixed? If not, is it a compiler bug? (This problem came up while using gi-gtk-3.0.38, where implicit params are used a lot).
