Comment (by goldfire):

 Yes, very much agreed with rwbarton:

 {{{
 data Foo {-# ROLE Nominal #-} a = ...
 }}}

 is the plan for labeling `a` with role `Nominal`.

 Also as part of this plan is to prefer writing out role names in full
 (e.g., "Nominal" not "N") to help with understanding and searching.
