…rray payloads. If type `t<'a>` is invariant in `'a` allow type coercion from `t<t1> ` to `t<t2>` if both `t1` can be coerced to `t2` and `t2` can be coerced to `t1`, which must imply that the runtime representations are the same.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
This is using the special case cstrs = []. Not sure if there's a good way to use existing constraints collected up to now.

So good 😍 ! This is going to be crazy useful for our coercions and spreads. Maybe we should add a few tests that cases that shouldn't be allowed still isn't? |
