Stefan,

The type preserving CPS translation with answer type polymorphism requires impredicativity.

Cédille uses impredicativity heavily, so that might be a better place to look than Coq. Although I guess that's more examples of (things like) Church encodings.
(For that matter, the CPS translation is too.)
