`types.attrTag` *`{ attr1 = t1; attr2 = t2; ... }`*
+
+
: An attribute set containing one attribute, whose name must be picked from
+
the attribute set (`attr1`, etc) and whose value must be of the accompanying
+
type.
+
+
This is one possible representation of what may be called a _tagged union_ or _sum type_.
+
`attrTag` can be thought of as an extension of *`enum`* where the permissible items
+
are attribute names, and each item is paired with a value of a specific type.
+
`types.either` *`t1 t2`*
: Type *`t1`* or type *`t2`*, e.g. `with types; either int str`.
