Chris,

What if a runtime tag for type is introduced?

datatype rtti (t@ype) =
  | Rbool(bool)
  | Rint(int)

and then in Eq:

  | Eq(bool) of (rtti(a), Expr a, Expr a) 

during evalution there would be some kind of dynamic check on the tag as 
well.

Another idea is to make [eval] evaluate to some kind of type of values. 
This type could be represented by a flat tagged union. Then you could do a 
check on the tag of the union at runtime, and select appropriate function 
to do the equality checking. Essentially what HX proposed, but with a flat 
unboxed type representing the values.
