Comment:

 Thanks Patrick.  I've committed your patch, and added your example as a
 test case.

 I had to update Haddock, which leaves a new opportunity for Haddock too:

 commit b6ef14069677c79f85cfdce7b5d69b06ca35f8b5

     Adapt to tcRnGetInfo returning family instances too

     This API change was part of the fix to Trac #4175.  But it offers new
     information to Haddock: the type-family instances, as well as the
     class instances, of this type.

     This patch just drops the new information on the floor, but there's an
     open opportunity to use it in the information that Haddock displays.
