 seems to loop forever on the "`Renamer/typechecker`"

 while

 {{{#!hs
 type family
   UpdateWith (ys'::[a]) (xs::[a]) (pf::SubList ys xs) = (res :: [a]) | res
 -> pf ys' xs where
   UpdateWith '[]    '[]    SubNil      = '[]
   UpdateWith (y:ys) '[]    SubNil      = y:ys
   UpdateWith '[]    (_:_)  (Keep _)    = '[]

 immediately gives
