Dear all,
I am interested in sum-of-product types, more precisely countable sum
of finite product, as these are the general types to which we can apply
pattern-matching.
I have been using the following terminology:
"pattern-range" is a countable family of finite sequences of types
"hyper-arity" is a countable family of natural numbers
Thus each sum-of-product type has a particular pattern-range, and each
sum-of-product connective has a particular hyper-arity.
Is there any other terminology in use for these things? I'm not bothered
if "finite" replaces "countable" here.
Paul
