Overlapable pragmas for individual instances (#9242)
Programmers may provide a pragma immediately after the `instance` keyword
to control the overlap/incoherence behavior for individual instances.
For example:
instance {-# OVERLAP #-} C a where ...
I chose this notation, rather than the other two outlined in the ticket
for these reasons:
1. Having the pragma after the type looks odd, I think.
2. Having the pragma after there `where` does not work for
stand-alone derived instances
I have implemented 3 pragams:
1. NO_OVERLAP
2. OVERLAP
3. INCOHERENT
These correspond directly to the internal modes currently supported by
GHC. If a pragma is specified, it will be used no matter what flags are
turned on. For example, putting `NO_OVERLAP` on an instance will mark
it as non-overlapping, even if `OVERLAPPIN_INSTANCES` is turned on for the
module.
