I see. FYI: with Univalence, we solve this issue in HoTT-Agda by
establishing an equivalence like this:
https://github.com/HoTT/HoTT-Agda/blob/e48a16bcd719e2fcb409d79e3f7df6c6b81223bb/core/lib/types/Pi.agda#L24-L29

As we all know, univalence is a general principle to internalize these
identifications. Perhaps special cases can be done in other ways.

Best,
Favonia
