Comment (by maeder):
What is the problem to add (renamed) copies of Typeable (named TypeableN)
and add generic instances "TypeableN k => Typeable k" and re-export those
via Data.Typeable? This would allow to test unmodified existing code!!!
(These intermediate TypeableN classes may be marked to be deprecated
later)
