Thank you for this idea, I was actually looking for a way to define
subsets of polymorphic variants, I didn't know that I can just put them
into other types and was unaware of the # syntax. Now my functions
return just the possible error variants, not all of them anymore.

I've reworked the code to get rid of the huge apierror type (which I
suppose I can throw away completely, since a user of the API will never
need it anyway), but it lead to quite huge blow-up of signatures:

<https://github.com/Leonidas-from-XIV/slacko/blob/37c3626bb9574bc99325267fb4c9f9c3c4f4730c/src/slacko.mli>

I am going to simplify these subsets a bit (since e.g. all history
methods use the same polymorphic variants and some possible error types
imply other error types) but it kinda looks very verbose now - any hints
on what can be done?

regards,
Marek
