I agree, and so, to a degree at least, does Rob (i.e., user-defined
types). It just doesn't go as far as many (most/all?) would like.
The two ideas I like are a more focused way to typecheck a variable and
structures (of Eu data, not memory mapped data). In fact, the second
would probably cover most cases where the first would be handy.
