Comment (by Iceland_jack):

 Hm this is confusing

 {{{
 > Identity { runIdentity = 42 }
 Identity 42
 > (Identity) { runIdentity = 42 }

 <interactive>:21:1: error:
     • Couldn't match expected type ‘Identity a1’
                   with actual type ‘a0 -> Identity a0’
     • In the expression: (Identity) {runIdentity = 42}
       In an equation for ‘it’: it = (Identity) {runIdentity = 42}
 }}}
