Comment (by bjmprice):
To record a couple of my thoughts:
- When RAE's nokinds branch merges, we can have kind-hetrogenous type
equalitys, which would find good use in comparing `TypeRep`s
- When Injective Type Families is implemented, it ''may'' be useful for
reducing passing `PolyTag`s around (currently they are not used in the
code, but needed, else GHC complains about not necessarily injective type
families)
