That's what GADTs are for:

Foo :: Foobar a -> Foobar a

Ouch #1: This appears to instantly disable deriving the Eq, Ord and Show
instances I want. :-/
Ah, yes, that is a pain. Maybe try playing around with tools like
Data.Derive? I haven't played with them much myself so I don't know
if they will help.
Not nearly as annoying as this:
data Foobar a where
Foo :: X -> Y -> Foobar NoZoo
Bar :: X -> Y -> Foobar NoZoo
Zoo :: Foobar NoZoo -> Foobar Zoo
For some reason, if I do this I get endless type check errors. I have to
change the top two back to Foobar a before it will work. *sigh*
