Comment (by RyanGlScott):

 Nope. I have a personal policy that I never make a GHC proposal unless I
 understand how it would be implemented in GHC and would be willing to
 implement it myself, and I don't meet these criteria. Nor am I
 particularly eager to dive into this part of the codebase—typechecking
 scoped type variables is black magic, and I'm content to let the experts
 handle it.
