Comment (by goldfire):

 Might I suggest that we experiment with this outside of `base` for a bit?
 `TypeApplications` is awfully new. I honestly don't think it will, but it
 might well change. Given the very loud grumbling we've all heard about
 changes to `base`, I think it would be prudent to make a `proxyfree-base`
 that users can opt into. If all goes well, I think merging into `base`
 somehow is great. But maybe for 8.2.
