I think GP is suggesting... well, dependent types, but in a restricted enough way that I don't believe it adds additional complexity over DataKinds. At least, I read

> Instead of MaxHeap(T), make it MaxHeap(T, Ord:(T,T)->bool)

as saying the kind of MaxHeap should be, in Coq syntax, (forall (T : Set), (T -> T -> Bool)). I think this doesn't add any additional complexity vs DataKinds since the function doesn't need to be evaluable at typechecking time, just unified against at construction-time.
