Tag instances with arbitrary types. The tags are usually empty trait

For example:
class Berry()
trait Black
trait Blue
val berry = new Berry()
val blackBerry: Berry @@ Black = berry.taggedWith[Black]
val blueBerry: Berry @@ Blue = berry.taggedWith[Blue]
// compile error: val anotherBlackBerry: Berry @@ Black = blueBerry
