fix: Export types so the Repository type can be fully specified (#229)

See #227 for more details.

I've added a test-case which constructs a minimal wrapper type around a
Repository that implements `IndexedFull`, puts two instances into a
collection (the primary motivator behind this), and hands them to a
function that relies on the trait.
