Comment (by goldfire):
Yes, but the library-writer could just use a newtype to get this
functionality. For example, if the writer of `Set` wants coercions
internally, they use `SetInternal` with no role annotations and then `Set`
with a role annotation. It's a little bit of (compile-time-only) overhead,
but it should be usable.
