Hello,

Say I have a parametric type:

    type MyType{T}
         var1
    end



In the most of the case T is a simple integer, and there is no problem with 
that. However, sometimes T is an instance of an singleton type, like:

  
  type Joker end


Thus I would like to instantiate

MyType{Joker()}(4)

but I have the following error message:

    ERROR: type: apply_type: in MyType, expected Type{T<:Top}, got Joker



Reading this message, I understand that the parameters of the types have to 
be define "at the top"... This seems true while 
MyType{MyType{4}(3)}(2)
throw a similar error message.

In the documentation : 
http://julia.readthedocs.org/en/latest/manual/types/#man-parametric-types 
there is no mention of such a restriction (or I didn't find it!).

How can I make `MyType{Joker()}(4)` work the way I want ?

Regards,
Sébastien
