Personally, I'd much rather have packages respect namespace boundaries, 
and have a simpler model, and let people call that TR library 
`foo-typed` or `typed-foo`.  (Or, TR comes up with a better scheme for 
providing TR and non-TR interfaces to a module, and reduces DRY problems 
in specifying APIs at the same time.)
