Comment(by SamAnklesaria):
I've come across a problem with making `if` syntax into a function. Many
uses from GHC's base library are for branches with kind # that don't match
the * kind expected by my polymorphic `ifThenElse` function. I could
switch all such occurrences to `case` statements, but that wouldn't
prevent other libraries from having the same problems. Is there any way to
make polymorphic (Bool -> a -> a -> a) functions handle things like Int#?
I'm kinda stuck. Thanks.
