Comment (by simonpj):

 What you are asking for looks jolly hard to me.

 On the other hand, your middle solution looks pretty easy, perhaps with
 {{{
 type ID a = (AID a, AID (Frac a))
 }}}
 I find it hard to believe that using this would cause a "few thousand
 lines of code hacking around the limitation".
