The purpose of this type class is to give further application code a way to talk about this "new type" encoding. So that converting to and from the underlying type can be done with as little boilerplate as possible in inter-op with 3rd party libraries, and other classes.

- Type Params
- N
N for new type. i.e. the type that ought to live only in the compiler
- O
O for old type. i.e. the underlying runtime type
- See also
sprout.SproutShow as an example. We can easily provide a Show instance for N if the underlying representation has one. And it's opt in. This principle is then extended to a host of 3rd party libraries to eliminate boilerplate. See the sprout-interop github repo for many other examples.
