+-- Exercise 7.1-ii
+-- What happens to this instance if you remove the `Show t =>` constraint from
+-- `HasShow`.
+
+-- Removing `Show t =>` below makes GHC angry:
+--
+-- • No instance for ‘Show t’ arising from a use of ‘show’
+-- Possible fix:
+-- add (Show t) to the context of the data constructor ‘HasShow’
+data HasShow where
+ HasShow :: Show t => t -> HasShow
+
+instance Show HasShow where
+ show (HasShow t) = "HasShow " <> show t
