 There is a mock-up of a new API for type indexed type representations,
 basic Dynamic functionality, static pointers and distributed closures
 (https://github.com/brprice/typeableT), based on
 https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/TypeableT.

 We would like to invite comments and discussion from the community using
 this ticket as a more permenant home that email.

 One particular point that would benefit from more eyes is the polymorphic
 static pointers support.
