I agree caution is warranted, but I still want the type level to behave as closely as possible to the term level, where literals are currently overloaded.

I don't care if it's monomorphic literals everywhere or overloaded literals everywhere, but I oppose a discrepancy.

I'm pretty cautious about attempting to replicate type classes (or a weaker version thereof) at the kind level. An alternative would be to us *non-overloaded* literals.
