Now, you are probably wondering how to fix it. Here's two different solutions:

The first solution still uses type families, but "empty" takes a
parameter so that the which instance to use can be chosen
unambiguously.

> type IxMap i :: * -> *

The second solution uses data families instead, because no such
ambiguity can exist.

> data IxMapD i :: * -> *
