Comment (by Iceland_jack):

 Thought: The second representation (`g & \g' -> f (g' x)`) can maybe be
 captured as a newtype with an instance (like `DList` changes the
 representation of  change the representation of `[a]` to `Endo [a]`). GHC
 would generate the newtype form, the instance takes care of the operation
 and coerce back.
