Comment (by hpacheco):

 To get going, I wouldn't mind if the onus of proving that the type family
 is indeed injective fell on me, in an unsafe way.
 But I understand that it is clearly not a feature that you should blindly
 introduce in mainstream GHC...
 I may look into it in the future if I ever find the time, but I doubt it.
