Hi devs!<br>
<br>
I guess I found a gap in the promotion mechanism:<br>
<br>
&gt; data Prom1 = Symic Symbol<br>
<br>
gets promoted to to a kind (Prom1 :: BOX) with (Symic &quot;AAA&quot; :: Prom1).<br>
So far so good.<br>
<br>
But how can I define by promotion (Prom2 :: BOX) with (Typic Int :: Prom2) ?<br>
<br>
I&#39;d like to write<br>
<br>
&gt; data Prom2 = Typic Type<br>
<br>
but haven&#39;t found such a beast in TypeLits. So my question is<br>
basically, which type-level identifier promotes to (* :: BOX) when<br>
mentioned in a `data` definition?<br>
<br>
I am thankful for any hints!<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
<br>
