Exactly. Sparse need to handle merging of incremental type declare. This is a long known sparse bug. > > I'll think about how to fix it cleanly. Expect a patch shortly. Wow, cool. I want to mention one special case of the type merging. It has some thing to do with scoping as well. When the scope ends, the incremental type added inside the scope will need to strip away as well. So it can not be blindly add to the original type without consider how to take that layer away later. This should be very exciting. Looking forward to the patch.
