[Haskell-cafe] Lifting a value into a DataKind

[Ivan Lazar Miljenovic]

Is it possible to automatically lift an arbitrary value into a type?
i.e. I'm after a function of type `a -> Proxy (b :: a)`.

More specifically, I'm wanting to be able to write a function that can
convert an Enum (e.g. Bool or Ord) into such a Proxy, so I can
actually write a function that looks like: `a -> (forall b. Proxy (b
:: a) -> r) -> r` and use the `a` type as a selector value (to e.g.
choose between type class instances).
