Generalized newtype deriving with associated types
When I have a
class Foo a where
type Bar a
foobar :: a -> Bar a
an
instance Foo Fooey ...
and
newtype Fooey2 = F2 (Fooey) deriving (Foo)
I expect the automatically generated deriving to include
type Bar Fooey2 = Bar Fooey
but this is not the case: I cannot get an associated type from a newtype to resolve to anything. My guess is that the combination of -XTypeFamilies and -XGeneralizedNewtypeDeriving is rare enough that this may simply not have been thought of yet, but it's something I'd like to see fixed.
