Also on the new warning (thanks for the quick change!): I find it a
bit strange that the message gives a list of possibilities then says
"The first one was selected", while in my mental model the *last*
declared type is chosen by default. I don't know if it's actually
possible to list types by declaration order (levels?), but maybe you
could at least arrange so that the selected one appears last? Or at
least you could reword into "The last declaration of this field has
type M.t, but types M.u and N.t would also be valid".
