Comment:

 Suspiciously similar shenanigans:

 {{{#!hs
 {-# LANGUAGE UnboxedTuples #-}
 module Main where

 import Data.Typeable

 main :: IO ()
 main = print $ typeOf (Proxy :: Proxy (# #))
 }}}

 {{{
 $ /opt/ghc/head/bin/ghc -O2 -fforce-recomp Example.hs
 [1 of 1] Compiling Main             ( Example.hs, Example.o )
