CofreeEqual with Implicit Function Types?
```scala
implicit def cofreeEqual[A, F[_]](implicit A: Equal[A], F: Equal[F[Cofree[F, A]]]): Equal[Cofree[F, A]] =
Equal.equal{ (a, b) =>
A.equal(a.head, b.head) && F.equal(a.tail, b.tail)
}
scala> import scalaz._,Scalaz._
import scalaz._
import Scalaz._
scala> Cofree.cofreeEqual[Int, Option]
<console>:14: error: diverging implicit expansion for type scalaz.Equal[Option[scalaz.Cofree[Option,Int]]]
starting with method optionEqual in trait OptionInstances0
Cofree.cofreeEqual[Int, Option]
^
```
might be resolved by "implicit function types", something like:
```scala
type CofreeEqual[A, F[_]] = implicit Equal[A] => implicit Equal[F[Cofree[F, A]]] => Equal[Cofree[F, A]]
implicit def cofreeEqual[A, F[_]]: CofreeEqual[A,F[_]] =
implicitly[Equal[A]].equal{ (a, b) =>
A.equal(a.head, b.head) && implicitly[Equal[F[Cofree[F,A]]]].equal(a.tail, b.tail)
}
```
