Comment (by v0d1ch):
I have determined that in the failure case in this specific example we
want the `Role` to be `Nominal` and we get a `[Type]` that looks like
this:
`[* -> *, Maybe]`
while the `TyCon` is `F`
How would I precede further with these informations ?
I am also wondering if I should introduce new type that will give us the
option to customize failure message instead of just `Nothing` ?
