Allow class associated types to reference functional dependencies
Consider:
class Foo i j | i -> j where
type Bar i :: *
type Bar i = j
This is rejected as j is not an argument to Bar, but when we realize any instance j will be a known type, determined by i, as told to us by the | i -> j functional dependency on the class.
This would likely require some sort of extra pass over the instances with class associated types of this form to elaborate them, or a slight modification of the default signature implementation for class associated types.
