-- | 'Proxy' is a type that holds no data, but has a phantom parameter of
-- arbitrary type (or even kind). Its use is to provide type information, even
-- though there is no value available of that type (or it may be too costly to
-- create one).
--
-- Historically, @'Proxy' :: 'Proxy' a@ is a safer alternative to the
-- @'undefined :: a'@ idiom.
--
-- >>> Proxy :: Proxy (Void, Int -> Int)

-- Proxy can even hold types of higher kinds,
--
-- >>> Proxy :: Proxy Either
-- Proxy

-- | 'asProxyTypeOf' is a type-restricted version of 'const'.
