typerep-map
typerep-map introduces TMap and TypeRepMap — data structures like Map, but where types serve as keys, and values have the types specified in the corresponding key spots.
Usage example
ghci> import Data.TMap
ghci> tm = insert True $ one (42 :: Int)
ghci> size tm
2
ghci> res = lookup tm
ghci> res :: Maybe Int
Just 42
ghci> res :: Maybe Bool
Just True
ghci> res :: Maybe String
Nothing
ghci> lookup (insert "hello" tm) :: Maybe String
Just "hello"
ghci> member @Int tm
True
ghci> tm' = delete @Int tm
ghci> member @Int tm'
False
