-- | Closed type classes are defined by adding a private field with a default
-- implementation that requires a 'Closed' constraint. For example:
--
-- > {-# LANGUAGE DefaultSignatures, FlexibleContexts #-}
-- >
-- > module Foo (Foo) where
-- >
-- > class Foo a where
-- >   default _private :: Closed Foo => Proxy a
-- >   _private :: Proxy a
-- >   _private = Proxy
-- >
-- > instance Foo Int where
-- >   _private = Proxy
--
-- Since @_private@ is not exported, any new instance defined outside the @Foo@
-- module will be forced to use the default implementation, which has the
-- unsatisfiable 'Closed' @Foo@ constraint.
--
-- > module Bar where
-- >
-- > import Foo
-- >
-- > instance Foo Char -- • User defined Foo instances are not allowed.
--
-- Thus new instances can only be defined in the same module as @Foo@, where
-- @_private@ is visible. Note that 'Closed' itself is a closed type class,
-- implemented using the same trick!
--
-- To automatically generate the boilerplate, see "Data.Class.Closed.TH".

-- | 'Closed' constraints are unsatisfiable. Attempting to resolve a 'Closed'
