I wonder whether a multi parameter type class without fundeps/associated
types would be better.
class Fixpoint f t where
inject :: f t -> t
project :: t -> f t

Interestingly, this even gives slightly shorter type signatures
cata :: Fixpoint f t => (f s -> s) -> t -> s
size :: (Fixpoint f t, Foldable f) => t -> Int
size can't be used now though, because there is no way to infer f.
Ah, of course, stupid me.
Making f an associacted type synonym / fundep instead of a associated
data type is still worth it, since we can use it for Mu f
class Fixpoint f t where
type F t a
...
instance Fixpoint f (Mu f) where ..
type F (Mu f) a = f a
Otherwise, we would have to deal with some kind of newtype
data F (Mu f) a = MuF f a
Hm, but does F (Mu f) qualify as a type constructor of kind * -> *
for type inference/checking? Or is the situation the same as with normal
type synonyms?
