Comment (by rwbarton):

 Well, DataKinds does always promote to `'S`. It just also promotes to `S`.
 But you could avoid ever using the un-`'`ed form of a promoted
 constructor; that's up to you. Are you asking for a `-fwarn-implicit-
 promoted-constructors`? That should probably not be the default, as the
 currently common style is not to write `'True` and `'False` everywhere.
