GHC 8.2.1 regression when combining GND with TypeError (solveDerivEqns: probable loop)
This code panics on GHC 8.2.1 and later:
{-# LANGUAGE DataKinds #-}
{-# LANGUAGE GeneralizedNewtypeDeriving #-}
{-# LANGUAGE UndecidableInstances #-}
module Bug where
import GHC.TypeLits
newtype Baz = Baz Foo
deriving Bar
newtype Foo = Foo Int
class Bar a where
bar :: a
instance (TypeError (Text "Boo")) => Bar Foo where
bar = undefined

This is a regression since GHC 8.0.2, in which it does compile successfully.
