Relevant addendum:

   - Ever use 'undefined' when writing definition stubs? Ever wished you
   had a type-level 'undefined' too? Thomas Winant explains advanced
   stubbing
   <https://www.fpcomplete.com/user/thomasw/new-in-ghc-7-10-partial-type-signatures>
   using GHC 7.10's new PartialTypeSignatures extension. Three years later, Dan
   Burton's wish
   <http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9036554/undefined-at-the-type-level>
   is granted.

Thanks to Dominique Devriese for prompting inclusion.

And speaking of granting wishes, stub-driven development in your favorite
editor jetpacked with type-to-term genies is tantalizingly
<http://haskell.1045720.n5.nabble.com/ANN-exference-a-different-djinn-td5807986.html#a5808041>
within grasp. Visual Studio <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9459364>,
eat your heart out.
