I tried to further streamline this by making
trivial = unit
,pair = tuple2
andsum = either
, but that is much more difficult, mainly because these types are needed in the very first few lines of Prims, where it is not possible to define the hasEq axioms and discriminators/projectors for a type.With @aseemr , I discussed addressing that work in the future, where we could introduce these types early in Prims but defer the their hasEq and projectors until GTot is defined.
