Comment (by Iceland_jack):

 Replying to [comment:7 ekmett]:
...
@Iceland_jack, I'm sorry, but would you object terribly strongly to that
 resolution?
I would not, I didn't expect such far-reaching implications.

 {{{#!hs
 label :: ContT r m (ContT r m a)
 label = callCC $ \k -> [ m | let m = k m ]
 }}}

 It's unfortunate that `↑` doesn't type check with `PolyKinds` and that the
 inferred type of `↓` doesn't either, that's somewhat rare

 {{{#!hs
 -- foo :: Cont r m a
 foo = do
   l <- label
   l
 }}}

 but seems like it can't be helped.
