+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+We want GHC to inline eqTypeRep and decTypeRep to get rid of the Maybe
+and Either in the usual case that it is scrutinized immediately. We
+split them into a worker (sameTypeRep) and wrappers because otherwise
+it's much larger than anything we'd want to inline.
+
+We need INLINEABLE on the eqTypeRep and decTypeRep as GHC
+seems to want to inline sameTypeRep here, making tham bigger.
+By exposing exact RHS, they stay small and other optimizations may
+fire first, so GHC can realise that inlining sameTypeRep is often
+(but not always) a bad idea.
+
+Wrinkle I1:
+
+`inline decTypeRep` in eqTypeRep implementation is to ensure that `decTypeRep`
+is inlined, even it's somewhat big of expression, but we know that big Left
+branch will be optimized away.
+
+See discussion in https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/merge_requests/9524
+and also https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/22635

+Note [Not exported decNat, decSymbol and decChar]
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The decNat, decSymbol and decChar are not (yet) exported.
+
+There are two development paths:
+1. export them.
+2. Add `decideEquality :: f a -> f b -> Either (a :~: b -> Void) (a :~: b)`
+   to the `Data.Type.Equality.TestEquality` typeclass.
+
+The second option looks nicer given the current base API:
+there aren't `eqNat :: SNat a -> SNat b -> Maybe (a :~: b)` like functions,
+they are abstracted by `TestEquality` typeclass.
+
+Also TestEquality class has a law that testEquality result
+should be Just Refl iff the types applied to are equal:
+
+testEquality (x :: f a) (y :: f b) = Just Refl  <=> a = b
+
+As consequence we have that testEquality should be Nothing
+iff the types applied are inequal:
+
+testEquality (x :: f a) (y :: f b) = Nothing   <=> a /= b
+
+And the decideEquality would enforce that.
+
+However, adding a new method is a breaking change,
+as default implementation cannot be (safely) provided.
+Also there are unlawful instances of `TestEquality` out there,
+(e.g. https://hackage.haskell.org/package/parameterized-utils Index instance
+      https://hackage.haskell.org/package/witness various types)
+which makes adding unsafe default implementation a bad idea.
+
+Adding own typeclass:
+
+class TestEquality f => DecideEquality f where
+  decideEquality :: f a -> f b -> Either (a :~: b -> Void) (a :~: b)
+
+is bad design, as `TestEquality` already implies that it should be possible.
+In other words, every f with (lawful) `TestEquality` instance should have
+`DecideEquality` instance as well.
+
+We hold on doing either 1. or 2. yet, as doing 2. is "harder",
+but if it is done eventually, doing 1. is pointless.
+In other words the paths can be thought as mutually exclusive.
+
+Fortunately the dec* functions can be simulated using decide* variants
+if needed, so there is no hurry to commit to either development paths.
