I agree. For the Mercury type checker I'd estimate that it would probably
take a good programmer who was familiar with the code about an hour or two
to implement this extension. A bit longer if you take into account the
time to document it and add some test cases.
Regarding your proposed syntax, why `(..)' rather than just `..'?
