Types are not normalized in instance declarations
Consider the example below. It does not compile, but replacing 5*2 by 10 makes it compile. This is quite annoying since it forces me to do the normalization that the computer is really much better at doing.
module NatInstance where
import GHC.TypeLits
type N = 5 * 2
data D (n :: Nat) = D
instance Show (D N) where show _ = ""
