Not sure if you can.

I think Kevin means that he cannot change the signature of the methods
in the Graph class because those are defined in the FGL package.

Mostly.

If I was able to redefine the method to add the class constraint in *my* code, that would 
be "what I wanted" but clearly wrong from the general type perspective: once 
defined it should not be possible to redefine.  I was more trying to indicate that I'd 
been flailing around and trying everything, even things that make me look stupid.  :-)


You're putting the constraint in the wrong places: put the "(Cls a)
=> "
in the actual functions where you need it.

Those seem to be the methods of the Graph class, where he can't place
the constraints. Kevin may have a version of  makeGraph  with
additional constraints but cannot use it to to define a  Graph
instance.

Exactly.  I posted a separate response with more details, but this is my problem.  
Actually, I'm even struggling defining the "empty" method of Graph.
