Previously, `RULES` like ``` {-# RULES "JustNothing" forall x . Just x = Nothing #-} ``` were allowed. Simon Peyton Jones say this seems to have been a mistake, that such rules have never been supported intentionally, and that he doesn't know if they can break in horrible ways. Furthermore, Ben Gamari and Reid Barton are considering trying to detect the presence of "static data" that the simplifier doesn't need to traverse at all. Such rules do not play well with that. So for now, we ban them altogether. In most cases, it's possible to work around the ban using hand-written wrapper functions.
