Comment (by RyanGlScott):

 Hm... what code would generated in this example?

 {{{#!hs
 {-# LANGUAGE PolyKinds #-}
 {-# LANGUAGE TypeFamilies #-}

 import Data.Kind

 class C (a :: k) where
   type T k :: Type

 instance C Int where
   type T Type = Int

 --------------------

 newtype MyInt = MyInt Int
   deriving C
 }}}
