    Inferred variables as a concept seems to be against "Explicit Variable Principle (EVP)" (mentioned in https://github.com/goldfirere/ghc-proposals/blob/type-variables/principles.rst, linked from https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/pull/448). I agree with that priciple.

    I can't get it installed but does it allow deriving instances that need higher-order roles? The second argument of GList f a has a nominal role so we can't coerce through it but it should be representational if f is Representational1

    Maybe you'll like the Local Modules proposal.
