Comment (by goldfire):

 What about

 {{{
 type S (a :: k) = Proxy (T (Just a))
 data T a = MkT (S a)
 }}}

 Does that `S` have a CUSK? If it does, the code should be accepted, I
 think. Or, would a user have to put in a totally-superfluous ` :: *` at
 the end of `S`'s RHS? Regardless of the kind of `T`, a proxy is always in
 kind `*`.
