++ The new fundamental Type (keeping Object for 1.5 as well)
++ Author: Richard Jenks

\section{Category UnionType}

<<category UTYPE UnionType>>=
)abbrev category UTYPE UnionType
++ Author: Gabriel Dos Reis
++ Date Created: December 17, 2007
++ Date Last Modified: December 17, 2007
++ Description: The category of domains that act like unions.
++ UnionType, like Type or Category, acts mostly as a take that
++ communicates `union-like' intended semantics to the compiler.
++ A domain D that satifies UnionType should provide definitions
++ for `case' operators, with corresponding `autoCoerce' operators.
UnionType(): Category == with nil

)abbrev category KOERCE CoercibleTo
++ Category for coerce
++ Author: Manuel Bronstein
++ Date Created: ???
++ Date Last Updated: 14 May 1991
++ Description:
++ A is coercible to B means any element of A can automatically be
++ converted into an element of B by the interpreter.
CoercibleTo(S:Type): Category == with
    coerce: % -> S
      ++ coerce(a) transforms a into an element of S.

++ Author: Gabriel Dos Reis
++ Date Create: November 19, 2008
++ Date Last Modified: November 19, 2008
++ See Also: CoercibleTo
++ Description:
++   A is coercible from B iff any element of domain B can be
++   automically converted into an element of domain B.  In symbols
++      A has CoercibleFrom B   <=>  B has CoercibleTo A
CoercibleFrom(S: Type): Category == with
  coerce: S -> %

++ Description:

++   automically converted into an element of domain B, and nay
++   element of domain B can be automatically converted into an A.

++ but not automatically by the interpreter.
ConvertibleTo(S:Type): Category == with
    convert: % -> S
      ++ convert(a) transforms a into an element of S.
