So Terminating contains all the terminating terms in the untyped lambda
calculus and none of the non-terminating ones. And the type checker
checks
this. So it sounds to me like the (terminating) type checker solves the
halting problem. Can you please explain which part of this I have
misunderstood?

To show how expressive GADTs are, the datatype Terminating can hold
any term in the untyped lambda calculus that terminates, and none that
don't. I don't think that an encoding of this is too surprising, but I
thought it might be a good demonstration of the power that GADTs
bring.
