Very neat project! One question about content addressed programs: how does this play out with types that are structurally equivalent but semantically distinct?

For instance, assuming C definitions, an integer and a file descriptor have the same content but probably should not be treated as the same type (I wouldn’t want arithmetic to type check against file descriptors…).

Another scenario: say I have a type “Foo” which contains an integer. In version 1 of my library, this integer must be even, but in version 2 I add support for odd integers, too. The Foo data type, from a content perspective, is unchanged. However, the invariants around it have changed and it’s therefore essential that it becomes a new type. Otherwise, someone might create a Foo containing an odd integer using the version 2 API and then pass it to a function from the version 1 API, resulting in bad things since the version 1 API believes Foo can never contain an odd integer.
