isInstance does not work for compound types
Consider
import Language.Haskell.TH.Syntax
data A = A
test :: Q [Dec]
test = do
tp <- [t| (Int, A) |]
inst1 <- isInstance ''Show [ tp ]
runIO $ print inst1
return []
This prints True even though there is no Show instance for A (the Show instance it finds is for pairs, but it does not verify that there are Show instances for the pair components).
