Is this to related to Weirich et al., "Generative Type Abstraction and Type-level Computation", in the sense that it is a precursor of the problems discussed there?
I hadn't seen that paper before. I read through it. I don't know how related the problems they describe are to the problem that I describe.

They mention that "newtype" is often used in Haskell as a way to workaround the absence of multiple implementations for a single interface. Using a scoped system like we've been discussing obviates the need for this workaround, which is good.
