> Do you have a concrete use case?
My use case is [https://github.com/Icelandjack/deriving-
via/blob/master/examples/Generics.hs this] where `swap` is required to
express symmetry. I use this to witness a coercion between `Rep a x` and
`Rep b x`
{{{#!hs
sameRep :: SameRep a b :- (Rep a x `Coercible` Rep b x)
}}}
but I also need
{{{#!hs
SameRep a b :- (Rep b x `Coercible` Rep a x)
}}}
for which I use `swap`
