Simple is in the eye of the beholder.  One measure of the complexity of
a module is the number of public names it has.

Saying "I want the kind of A to be the same as the kind of a component
of a component of the kind of B" is simpler than saying "Here's the type
of A, and here's the kind of B" and not having a clue that (and how)
they are related until you go and look at the module that exports the
type of A.
