 * cc: Conor.McBride@…, sweirich@… (added)


Comment:

 Re the sketchiness, is your worry the following?
  * Even though the type `Empty` has no data constructors, there are terms
 with type `Empty`, namely diverging ones, such as `undefined :: Empty`.
  * But are there any '''types''' with '''kind''' `Empty`?  You might think
 "no" since we don't have divergent type terms.  But there is one, namely
 `(Any Empty)`.

 So, is that a problem?  Adding Conor to the cc list.
