Comment (by Iceland_jack):
Ah! That makes perfect sense, we can specify a `Proxy cls` and not change
the kind of `Foo` although I'm not sure this gives me what I want
{{{#!hs
data Foo where
Foo :: Proxy cls -> (forall x. ((forall y. cls y => Num y), cls x) => x)
-> Foo
a :: Foo
a = Foo (Proxy :: Proxy Num) 10
b :: Foo
b = Foo (Proxy :: Proxy Fractional) 10.0
}}}
I have a draft ready for an overview of this extension from
ticket:14840#comment:6, should I email it to you?
