Comment (by ganesh):

 I have encountered this in darcs when trying to make our phantom types be
 of some complicated (and arbitrarily chosen) kind to minimise the risk of
 them being instantiated with a real type (which would then lead to a risk
 of unsafeCoerce happening on those real types due to other aspects of the
 way we use phantom types).
