Comment (by goldfire):
I think your plan (of more defaulting to `*`) would break less code, but I
think that someone saying `Proxy Proxy` without thinking about kinds yet
specifying `PolyKinds` has made a mistake. After all, the goal is to make
the `TypeRep` for `Proxy :: * -> *` and `Proxy :: Bool -> *` different. We
should expect the user to specify which one they want.
