- repr :: (a :~: b) -> Coercion a b
- class TestCoercion f where

# Documentation

data Coercion a b where Source #

Representational equality. If `Coercion a b` is inhabited by some terminating value, then the type `a` has the same underlying representation as the type `b`.

To use this equality in practice, pattern-match on the `Coercion a b` to get out the `Coercible a b` instance, and then use `coerce` to apply it.

class TestCoercion f where Source #

This class contains types where you can learn the equality of two types from information contained in terms. Typically, only singleton types should inhabit this class.
