-- The delicate point about this test is that we want to 
-- infer a derived instance decl like this:
--    instance (CItem a, Eq a) => Eq (StateEntry a)
-- But note the instance decl for (Eq w) for any w!
-- There's a danger than we'll use that instance decl
-- to get the derived instance
--    instance (CItem a, GUIObject a) => Eq (StateEntry a)
-- And then that doesn't work subsequently
