Description

Countable and ConstOF are pinned at universe level 1. Generalizing constOF seems to break things downstream (at the time of writing, in GhostMap). It think the root of the issue might have to do with all universes in a BundledGFunctors needing the same universe, but I'm not 100% sure. Either way, this should be investigated sometime.

Research direction

Read the definitions and uses of Countable, ConstOF, constOF, BundledGFunctors, and GhostMap first. Investigate whether the shared universe constraint explains the downstream breakage, then document the required scope and confirm what would count as a safe generalization.
