and GHC refuses the instance because of violated Coverage Condition.
I have more instances like
instance Register Int8 (Reg Int8) where
instance Register Word8 (Reg Word8) where
and for the set of instances I plan, the instance resolution will
always terminate. I remember that the term 'undecidable instance' is
not fixed and may be relaxed if a more liberal condition can be
found. Is there a place, say a Wiki page, where we can collect
examples where we think that the current check of GHC is too
restrictive?
