Description

In scala 2, the following is ok:

import auto.semigroupK._
implicitly[SemigroupK[Lambda[x => List[Set[Option[x]]]]]]

but the following in scala 3 does not compile:

import auto.semigroupK.given
summon[SemigroupK[[x] =>> List[Set[Option[x]]]]]

Naming and explicitly calling

given foo[F[_], G[_]](using F: Or[F]): DerivedSemigroupK[[x] =>> F[G[x]]] =
  F.unify.compose[G]

foo[List, [x] =>> Set[Option[x]]]

does work however.

I see the scala 2 version uses Split1 from Shapeless. Maybe we need something similar here?

Research direction

Start by comparing the Scala 3 derivation path with the Scala 2 implementation that uses Shapeless's Split1. Reproduce the nested SemigroupK summon shown in the issue and verify that it compiles without naming or explicitly calling a given.
