+/* The problem here is that we cannot insert an implicit to
+ * add a polymorphic method which is then instantiated to the
+ * right type. When searching for the implicit in the `fails to compile
+ * line':
+ *
+ *   val failure = 1.0 + new Op[Int]
+ *
+ * we reduce the problem to finding a function from Double to
+ * {+: _ >: Op[Int] <: Any}, that is, a method which takes
+ * an argument which is an Op[Int] or a supertype thereof.
+ * Class Rich is not a subtype of this structural record, because
+ * polymorphic method instantiation is not contained in subtyping.
+ * That is: The method type [I](op : Op[I]): Op[I] is not a subtype
+ * of (Op[Int]): Op[Int].
+ * At present it is unclear whether this problem can be solved.
