Comment:
I can't see any reason this would be impossible in principle, but my brain
is too small to figure out all the ramifications of dropping the "newtypes
are always boxed" assumption that GHC currently makes.
So for now I have simply added the restriction to the user manual, and
I'll leave this suggestion as a feature request.
