 I tried to add this rule to the code of `Data.Map`:
 {{{
 {-# RULES
 "mapKeysMonotonic/coerce" mapKeysMonotonic coerce = coerce
  #-}
 }}}

 but it would not go through:

 {{{#!hs
 libraries/containers/Data/Map/Base.hs:1800:1: warning:
     Forall'd variable ‘$rcobox’ is not bound in RULE lhs
       Orig bndrs: [k2, a, $rcobox]
       Orig lhs: let {
                   cobox_ab8H :: Coercible k2 k2
                   [LclId, Str=DmdType]
                   cobox_ab8H =
                     MkCoercible @ * @ k2 @ k2 @~ (<k2>_R :: k2 ~R# k2) }
 in
                 mapKeysMonotonic @ k2 @ k2 @ a (coerce @ k2 @ k2
 cobox_ab8H)
       optimised lhs: mapKeysMonotonic
                        @ k2
                        @ k2
                        @ a
                        (\ (tpl_B2 :: k2) ->
                           case cobox_ab8H of _ [Occ=Dead] { MkCoercible
 tpl_B3 -> tpl_B2 })
 }}}

 The same syntax works for mapping the second parameter, i.e.
 {{{
 {-# RULES
 "map/coerce" map coerce = coerce
  #-}
 }}}
 (this still `Data.Map`’s `map`).

 This blocks https://github.com/haskell/containers/pull/163

 I’ll see if I can produce a stand-alone testcase.
