Comment(by goldfire):

 I, for one, like the idea of fold and unfold operations in the TH library.

 How would one refer to the kind {{{Nat}}}? Is it {{{PromotedT (mkName
 "Nat")}}} or {{{ConT (mkName "Nat")}}} (both used in a context expecting a
 kind)? Does the algorithm in Convert.lhs check for consistent usage of
 {{{ConT}}} vs {{{PromotedT}}}?
