I think the technique described at

  http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/GHC/AdvancedOverlap

may give you what you want. I've never tried it myself though.

Yeah, I realized that.

But heres where I would like the undecidable incoherent instances to kick in, 
i.e. as long as I haven't got any NumVec instances GHC should be able to choose 
only one of the Mult instances. Or do I have too much faith in the 
-fallow-incoherent-instances flag now? :/

I would like to be able to write something like
instance (Vec a x, -Num (a x)) => Mult (a x) (a x) x where (*.) = dot
where -Num (a x) means that (a x) must not be an instance of Num. Can I express 
this in some way?
