  12 -- | 'ReifyReflect' witnesses the duality between @meta@ and @(repr a)@.
  13 --  It indicates which type variables in @a@ are not to be instantiated
  14 --  with the arrow type, and instantiates them to @(repr _)@ in @meta@.
  15 --  This is directly taken from: http://okmij.org/ftp/tagless-final/course/TDPE.hs
  16 --
  17 -- * @meta@ instantiates polymorphic types of the original Haskell expression
  18 --   with @(repr _)@ types, according to how 'ReifyReflect' is constructed
  19 --   using 'base' and @('-->')@. This is obviously not possible
  20 --   if the orignal expression uses monomorphic types (like 'Int'),
  21 --   but remains possible with constrained polymorphic types (like @(Num i => i)@),
  22 --   because @(i)@ can still be inferred to @(repr _)@,
  23 --   whereas the finally chosen @(repr)@
  24 --   (eg. 'E', or 'Identity', or 'TH.CodeQ', or ...)
  25 --   can have a 'Num' instance.
  26 -- * @(repr a)@ is the symantic type as it would have been,
  27 --   had the expression been written with explicit 'lam's
  28 --   instead of bare haskell functions.
