// NOTE: neither A nor B can have variance annotations
// we can't turn A into -A because contravariant implicits don't work
// we can't turn B into +B because a converter from A to B isn't necessarily a conversion from A to a supertype of B
// take serialization, for instance. a deserializer for Foo is not the same as a deserializer for AnyRef.
