GHC panic, `tcTyVarDetails` is missing a case
Compiling the attached module I get
$ ghc --interactive Tree.hs
GHCi, version 8.1.20161030: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ :? for help
[1 of 1] Compiling Tree ( Tree.hs, interpreted )
Tree.hs:28:63: error:ghc-stage2: panic! (the 'impossible' happened)
(GHC version 8.1.20161030 for x86_64-apple-darwin):
tcTyVarDetails
cobox0_a1eK :: (m_a1ej[sk:2] :: Peano)
~#
('S n_a1eJ[ssk:3] :: Peano)

Please report this as a GHC bug: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/reportabug
When switching the call to SBranchX in line 29 to a call to SBranch the program compiles. So I suspect that the problem is rooted in the extra constraint attached to constructor SBranchX.
