Comment (by RyanGlScott):

 I see. I'm a bit embarrassed that I've been doing `:kind Map` all this
 time and never realized that I was doing something unsavory.

 I'm curious - how does type inference get muddled exactly? And moreover,
 is the particular way in which it becomes muddled relevant for `:kind`? If
 not, then I'd vote to leave things the way they are. Otherwise, we might
 want to reconsider.
