Didn't Jacques say in a related post "Most of the type system is
formalized, but there is no single place to look at"? Jacques, does the
"type system" mean "type checking", "type inference", "operational
semantics", or what. Heck, I should just look up the papers.

Maybe we should collect the relevant URLs and place them in the wiki. It
would be a start. I might do that.
