Comment (by Iceland_jack):
Replying to [comment:7 RyanGlScott]:
> I say "in principle" because although most `Generic` instances (and
hence `Rep` instances) are derived, a devilish programmer //could//
handwrite a `Rep` instance that violates injectivity.
That could be checked if GHC ends up adding support for head-injectivity,
there may be use cases for an injective `Rep`.
> Out of curiosity, are there any other type families in `base` besides
`Not` that can be injective?
I can sift through `base` and see if there are others, posting them here.
