You probably meant "rather than a result of an arbitrary computation".
Yes, it can be done this way, and I believe such annotations in
signatures are necessary for a full treatment of recursion between
modules (the Holy Grail :-). However, they also pollute signatures
with "implementation details".
For more modest forms of recursion, e.g. cross-recursion between
compilation units, I was hoping this information could be propagated
behind the scene, without cluttering signatures, or just re-inferred and
checked at link-time. This is just a vague idea.
Cheers,
