Comment (by Iceland_jack):

 And giving `\c -> m (c . d)` a name (without a type signature, I'm don't
 have enough bravery to attempt that so early in the morning) doesn't work,
 I don't know if intended behaviour or not

 {{{#!hs
 fmap' :: (f ~> f') -> (CodTy f -> CodTy f')
 fmap' f (CodTy m) = CodTy a where
   a c = m (c . f)

 fmap' f (CodTy m) = let
   a c = m (f . g)
   in CodTy a

 fmap' f (CodTy m) = do
   let a c = m (f . g)
   CodTy a
 }}}

 Okay never mind I worked it out, this works

 {{{#!hs
 fmap' :: forall f f'. (f ~> f') -> (CodTy f -> CodTy f')
 fmap' f (CodTy (m :: forall r'. (f ty -> r') -> r')) = CodTy a where

   a :: forall r. (f' ty -> r) -> r
   a c = m (c . f)
 }}}
