He he, while I was poking about in the type inference code ...
There's an experimental command `:xplain` instance resolution.
The code to implement it needs switching on with a preprocessor flag set in
options.h.in then ./configure and recompile Hugs.
Use it by giving a constraint to be explained:
Hugs> :x Show (Maybe [Int])
(It seems a bit temperamental, fair enough for a hidden feature: if it can't resolve an instance, it'll say so, but also give some misleading messages with fragments of code leftover from previous uses.)
