Types are too complex

This doesn't want to infer:

f8 arr = \f ->
  _lambda $ (\(accu  :: r Tint,
               index :: r Tint) 
             -> 
              do
                v      <- _get arr index
                index' <- add index (lit 1)
                accu'  <- add accu v
                cond   <- eq index' (lit 10)
                _if cond 
                    (_ret accu')
                    (_app f $ accu' index'))


I think it's at least typable.  This should really just work.  The
following doesn't even infer correctly and needs a pin down to avoid
occurs check error.

f7 :: (StructPair (,) r,
       StructPrim s (r a),
       Monad m,
       Loop s m r)
      => m (r ((a,a) -> m a))  
f7 = _lambda $ \(a,b) -> _ret a


I think the problem lies with functional dependencies.  I don't really
quite understand how they work.  I don't understand the error messages
and I simply get stuck.

Fiddling with the code a bit usually makes it work after a while, but
that's really no way to do programming ay?

Maybe type families are the solution?

Summary: I believe the recursive class definitions for nested tuples
(see Struct), and the fundeps used there, mess things up.  They
probably express something else than I intend..
