Well, the representation (D1,D2,D9) might be considered more readable. It has the disadvantage of a fixed maximum size for the numbers. Which takes me to a point I had already considered some time ago: Wouldn’t it be good if we had just a type
data Pair val1 val2 = Pair val1 val2
and if then (val1,val2,…,valn) would just be syntactic sugar for this:
val1 `Pair` (val2 `Pair` (…(valn `Pair` ())…))
I've thought of that too.. besides the asymmetry, the presence of _|_/seq makes them actually not equivalent though, unfortunately ~Isaac
