Comment (by ekmett):

 This strikes me as the kind of thing that belongs out in a user library
 like `constraints` or `subhask` as it requires a fair bit of machinery to
 use well, and suffers the sort of type-level "boolean blindness" that
 indicates it'd often need to be reimplemented subtly differently.
