Comment (by kosmikus):
I think that even if `TypeableN` would be added as `type` synonyms using
`-XConstraintKinds`, they should be deprecated. They're ugly and don't add
anything except (a limited amount of) backwards compatibility. Adding a
kind-signature in a case that'd otherwise be "too" polymorphic is much
clearer IMHO.
