Description
## Is your enhancement request related to a problem? Please describe.
When writing code like this:
```haskell
instance FromJSON Foo
```
This produced an error about `Foo` not having an instance for `Generic` due to the default implementation of `parseJSON` and HLS sugests that I make the line look like
```haskell
instance Generic Foo => FromJSON Foo
```
This is almost never what anyone wants to do for most type classes.
## Describe the solution you'd like
I understand that in the general case, this might be a good idea, like when the constraint is on a parameter of the type in question. So this suggestions shouldn't be removed. I think having these two other suggestions would be greatly helpful for me:
1. A suggestion to add placeholders for the missing methods, like the hls-class-plugin does.
2. A suggestion to add another instance for the type instead of just the constraint.
## Describe alternatives you've considered

## Additional context
