 I'm *pretty* sure this is a problem with TypeInType in particular. I'd
 expect the following to compile:
 {{{#!hs
 {-# LANGUAGE GADTs, TypeInType, TypeApplications #-}
 module Bug where

 import Prelude
 import Data.Coerce
 import Data.Kind

 data Foo a = Foo

 data Bar (a :: Type) (b :: Foo a) where
   Bar :: Bar a 'Foo

 x = coerce @(Bar Int 'Foo) @(Bar Bool 'Foo)
 }}}

 But it doesn't
