Unlifted data types

[Takenobu Tani]

Hi devs,

Apologies if I'm missing context.

Is it more better that "Unlifted" kind is other name, such as
"BoxedUnlifted", "Bul", "%",... ?


I'm studying Unlifted data types [1].
It's good proposals to optimize code by users.

But I worry that newcomers may be confusing about its kind name.
In my understanding [2], "unlifted" types may include "unboxed, unlifted"
type.
But "unlifted" kind does not include "unboxed, unlifted" types.

 (sorry, large)

I wish you a happy new year.
Regards,
Takenobu
