   panic! (the `impossible' happened):
           tcLookupTyVar:a_r6F

   Please report it as a compiler bug to glasgow-haskell-bugs@dcs.gla.ac.uk.


If the instance definition for (*) at the end of this toy module
is replaced by the definition that is commented, this all compiles
fine. Strange, because the two implementations are equivalent modulo
the theory {(*) = multiply}.

Remove the `multiply :: a -> a -> a' part, and it compiles without
problems.


SPJ note: the type signature on "multiply" should be
	multiply :: Group a => a -> a -> a

-}
