 I thought I had seen that feature request in trac but did not find it.
 Sorry if I am wrong.


 A simple use case might be a type safe routing framework, e.g.

 {{{
 get :: Route "/a/:id" $ do
     idA <- param :: Param "idA"
     ...
 }}}


 I spoke with pedro at hacberlin last weekend and he told me simonp and
 iavor might tell me where to start looking.
