Hi David, Sorry for the slow response, but I'd just like to confirm what it seems you've already intuited about CHICKEN's type system.
Simply put, CHICKEN's type-directed compilation pass will only optimise a program when it's *certain* that a given type is correct, and it will only issue a warning when it's *certain* that a given type is incorrect. In your example, the type of `value4` may or may not be incorrect, so nothing is done. It sounds like you're expecting a much more strict interpretation of type annotations, but that's not how CHICKEN currently works. It is, as you say, permissive in its treatment of type annotations.
