Cannot deduce (Show x) from context (Show (x, y)).
  Cannot deduce (Show y) from context (Show (x, y)).

Um... seriously?

From Prelude, we have

  Show x, Show y => Show (x, y)

So clearly it works in the forward direction. But apparently not in the reverse direction.

Is this a bug or a feature? (I.e., is there some obscure possibility I haven't thought of which means that doing the reverse inference would be incorrect?)
