Hello,
I was experimenting with TypeInType and run into a problem, that can be
reduced to the following example. Does anyone have any insight on what
causes the error, in particular why is `IxKind` not being reduced?

module Help where
import Data.Kind
type family IxKind (m :: Type) :: Type
type family Value (m :: Type) :: IxKind m -> Type
data T (k :: Type) (f :: k -> Type)
type instance IxKind (T k f) = k
type instance Value (T k f) = f
