 Subject: Type function under a forall type

 Simon, Tom,

 I hit this type-error message in GHC 7.0.3:

   Cannot deal with a type function under a forall type:
   forall e. El e u

 Is there a fundamental reason why type functions under a forall type are a
 bad idea? Of is it just something that hasn't been implemented/thought
 about yet?
