Comment (by carter):

 the key bit is that however I add typeable info for the datakind level
 variant of  Nat, i get

 {{{

 test.hs:33:1:
     No instance for (Typeable n)
       arising from the superclasses of an instance declaration
     In the instance declaration for ‛Data (Shape ('S n) a)’
 }}}
