Comment (by ocharles):
Specifically, I only want to export the type of the newtype (`T`), and the
pattern synonym `MkT2`. The "real" constructor `MkT` for the newtype is
internal to the module and not exported. In my actual work, `Impl` is a
record with ~10 fields, and I want to have a `newtype` over `Impl` that
looks like a record with 10 fields, though they will have different names
(proxying to the underlying fields in `Impl`). So yes, what Simon comments
with is indeed what I would like to be able to do (though I wouldn't
export `MkT`).
