Comment (by goldfire):
Not quite. `UnT` really has kind `pi k. Type -> k`, because the `k` can be
used in pattern-matching. The behavior of `UnT` is to reduce only when the
(invisibly) provided `k` matches the kind of the argument of `T`. Unlike
when defining ordinary functions, polymorphism in type families is ''not''
parametric.
